I built LunarGate because I was tired of scattering API keys and routing logic across every app that talks to an LLM.
It's a single self-hosted binary (Go) that sits between your apps and LLM providers. You get one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and behind it: multi-provider routing, fallback chains, retries, caching, rate limiting, and complexity-aware autorouting that sends cheap prompts to cheap models automatically.
The privacy angle: prompts and responses stay local by default. Observability is opt-in, EU-hosted, and I'm working on e2e encryption so even we can't read your data.
- Stack: Go binary via Homebrew or Docker, YAML config, hot-reloadable. Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Ollama, Abacus, and more.
- Quick start is literally: brew install, save a config.yaml, run it, point your OpenAI client at localhost:8080.
- Gateway: https://github.com/lunargate-ai/gateway
- Docs: https://docs.lunargate.ai/
- Site: https://lunargate.ai/
Would love feedback on the routing model and what providers/features you'd want next.
