AI workloads have exposed the fundamental limitations of traditional API gateways. While REST APIs follow predictable patterns, AI applications deal with streaming responses, variable latency, complex authentication flows, and business logic that changes faster than infrastructure teams can keep up. The result? Most organizations end up with a patchwork of direct integrations, each with its own security model, rate limiting, and monitoring—exactly the kind of sprawl that gateways were suppose...
