# Portkey AI Gateway

*/Products/Portkey_AI_Gateway*

## Product Profile

**How It Flows**: Deployed as a hosted proxy service or self-hosted container that sits directly between application backends and upstream LLM provider APIs. It is consumed programmatically by software via REST APIs and native SDKs to manage and observe model inference traffic.
**Operated By**:
- [Software Engineers](/Products/Portkey_AI_Gateway/Occupations/Software_Engineers)
- [AI Engineers](/Products/Portkey_AI_Gateway/Occupations/AI_Engineers)
- [DevOps Engineers](/Products/Portkey_AI_Gateway/Occupations/DevOps_Engineers)
- [Site Reliability Engineers](/Products/Portkey_AI_Gateway/Occupations/Site_Reliability_Engineers)
**What It Does**: Routes application requests to multiple large language models while executing automated fallbacks, load balancing, and semantic caching. It logs telemetry on token usage, inference latency, and API costs across all configured model providers.
**Primary Buyers**:
- [AI Startups](/Products/Portkey_AI_Gateway/Customers/AI_Startups)
- [Enterprise IT Departments](/Products/Portkey_AI_Gateway/Customers/Enterprise_IT_Departments)
- [Chief Technology Officers](/Products/Portkey_AI_Gateway/Customers/Chief_Technology_Officers)
- [Platform Engineering Teams](/Products/Portkey_AI_Gateway/Customers/Platform_Engineering_Teams)

## Product Biz Step Lifecycle

**Summary**: Portkey AI Gateway is a digital primitive deployed as a hosted proxy service or self-hosted software container. As a pure software infrastructure component consumed via APIs and SDKs, it has no physical supply-chain lifecycle.
**Physical Track**: false
