Useful OSS. Clear Enterprise Gates.
Aurora Gateway keeps core routing, usage tracking, workflows, audit logs, managed API keys, models, aliases, providers, and pools working in OSS. Enterprise-only controls fail closed when unavailable.
OSS Runtime Contract
The OSS profile was smoke-tested with Enterprise budgets, identity, tenants, compliance, observability exports, and cluster controls turned off. Core gateway operations and dashboard APIs remain usable.
OpenAI- & Anthropic-compatible gateway
Core /v1 routing and passthrough routes stay available in OSS when providers are configured.
Usage tracking
Token, request, cost, provider, model, status, and time-range analytics run without Enterprise budgets.
Workflows
Config-driven workflow defaults remain active in OSS with budget execution disabled.
Managed API keys
Create and use scoped gateway keys against the implicit default tenant without identity management.
Audit logs
Request audit storage, live console data, and dashboard history remain available on local storage.
Models, aliases, providers, pools
Model catalog, alias routing, static providers, and provider pools are OSS-capable.
Enterprise-only Controls
These features are intentionally unavailable in plain OSS. If configured without the matching capability, startup validation fails or admin routes return 403 instead of degrading core routing.
Budgets
Requires advancedBudgets. OSS returns 403 for budget admin and never blocks traffic by budget.
Tenant management
Requires identity. OSS uses the implicit default tenant and hides tenant selectors.
Identity, OIDC, RBAC
Requires identity/rbac. OSS keeps master-key admin and managed-key inference available.
Compliance controls
Requires compliance. Basic audit logs can still run in OSS.
Observability exports
Requires observabilityExports. Basic logs and optional metrics remain separate.
Cluster/HA control plane
Requires cluster. Single-node or externally orchestrated replicas remain possible.
Observability & Insights
Usage Telemetry
OSS: monitor token usage, latency, cost, model selection, providers, and request outcomes.
Audit Logs
OSS: search request history, inspect conversations, stream logs, and retain local audit data.
Response Caching
OSS-capable: use exact and semantic caching with dashboard overview and debug tooling when configured.
Usage Analytics
OSS: break down consumption by model, provider, user path, status, and time range.
Governance & Security
Basic Guardrails
OSS-capable local policy checks can run independently from advanced Enterprise guardrail controls.
Budgeting & Quotas
Enterprise: set spend budgets, inspect forecasts, reset periods, and enforce budget reservations.
Access Control (RBAC)
Enterprise: use OIDC sessions, users, roles, permissions, and permission-gated dashboard routes.
API Key Management
OSS: issue scoped keys with user paths, rate limits, expiry, provider/model controls, and stats.
Traffic & Routing
Provider Pools
OSS: route traffic through configured provider pools, fallback chains, and runtime refresh controls.
Model Catalog
OSS: list configured provider models, aliases, categories, pricing metadata, and access overrides.
Workflows
OSS: configure scoped gateway workflows; budget behavior stays off unless Enterprise budgets are enabled.
Roadmap: MCP Gateway
Governed MCP tool connections are planned as a future enterprise subsystem.
Admin Dashboard Settings
Manage provider config, routing, caching, security baseline, observability, pricing, and identity settings.
