Traefik AI Gateway

**Traefik Labs**'s commercial AI gateway, layered on the Traefik reverse proxy heritage. In December 2025, Traefik joined the **HPE Unleash AI Partner Program** to deliver sovereign AI infrastructure with a **Triple Gate Security Architecture** — positioning the gateway as the policy-enforcement boundary for regulated, on-prem, and air-gapped LLM deployments. Traefik AI Gateway differentiates from LiteLLM and Helicone on the governance axis: it targets organizations where the LLM gateway is part of the security and compliance perimeter rather than just a performance and cost optimization layer.

What it is

**Traefik Labs**'s commercial AI gateway, layered on the Traefik reverse proxy heritage. In December 2025, Traefik joined the **HPE Unleash AI Partner Program** to deliver sovereign AI infrastructure with a **Triple Gate Security Architecture** — positioning the gateway as the policy-enforcement boundary for regulated, on-prem, and air-gapped LLM deployments. Traefik AI Gateway differentiates from LiteLLM and Helicone on the governance axis: it targets organizations where the LLM gateway is part of the security and compliance perimeter rather than just a performance and cost optimization layer.

Why it exists

Regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, defense, sovereign cloud) cannot deploy general-purpose model gateways without enterprise-grade access control, audit, and policy enforcement. Traefik's heritage as the reverse proxy serving large-scale production traffic gave it the foundation; the AI Gateway addition layers policy enforcement (Triple Gate Security: identity, content, behavior) on top, with audit trails persisted to S3-compatible object storage for compliance review.

Primary use cases

Sovereign AI infrastructure for regulated industries, HPE Unleash AI Partner deployments, identity-aware LLM gateways with content filtering, behavior anomaly detection on agent calls, compliance-grade audit-trail persistence to S3.
