LLM gateways solve production challenges like latency spikes, provider outages, cost control, and observability when building with large language models. This comparison evaluates five production-ready gateways: Bifrost (Go-based, ultra-low latency, strong governance), Cloudflare AI Gateway (edge integration, caching), LiteLLM (Python, 100+ providers), Vercel AI Gateway (frontend-focused DX), and Kong AI Gateway (enterprise API management). Key evaluation criteria include performance under load, failover reliability, governance controls, and architectural fit. Bifrost excels at high-traffic systems with ~11 microseconds overhead at 5,000 RPS, while LiteLLM suits prototyping and Python teams. Choice depends on traffic scale, budget requirements, outage tolerance, and whether you prioritize flexibility or predictability.
