Designed for Instant Engineering Impact
Discover who Metriota is built for, the critical problems it solves, and the immediate benefits of deploying it into your AI pipeline.
What is Metriota?
Metriota is an Inline Zero-Trust LLM Security & Observability Gateway. It sits directly between your autonomous AI agents, web frontends, or backend services and upstream model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, or self-hosted GPU nodes) to intercept, scrub, route, and log token telemetry in real time.
Who should use it?
- AI & Software Engineers: Building multi-tenant LLM applications.
- DevSecOps & Compliance Leads: Enforcing HIPAA, GDPR, & SOC2.
- FinOps & CTOs: Eliminating LLM bill shocks and tracking token unit economics.
Why deploy a dedicated Gateway?
Critical Risk Mitigation
Point-to-point API integrations leave engineering teams vulnerable to data leaks, regulatory fines, and runaway API spend.
- ✖ Unprotected SSN/PHI leakage to cloud
- ✖ Vulnerability to prompt injections
- ✖ Blind spots in token unit economics
Zero Friction Integration
A proxy architecture means you secure your entire application layer without rewriting existing chatbot or backend code.
- ✔ Drop-in SDK
baseURLoverride - ✔ 100% Self-Hosted Docker stack
- ✔ Universal frontend loader script
Actionable Observability
Clear, real-time triggers that empower engineers and security systems to take immediate operational control.
- ⚡ Automated
403 Blockedthreat alerts - ⚡ One-click PDF compliance exports
- ⚡ Native OpenTelemetry & PromQL
Quantifiable Value Realization
The direct operational impact of adopting Metriota Gateway.
PII is tokenized in local Redis before cloud egress.
Smart caching, model fallbacks, and tenant spend caps.
High-throughput FastAPI/Uvicorn runtime.
Drop-in replacement for OpenAI standard SDKs.
Processing billions of tokens for
Slash spend. Neutralize risk. Trigger action.
Deep observability primitives combined with zero-trust security infrastructure.
Reversible PII Vaulting
Zero-trust architecture. Intercept SSNs, emails, and PHI before they reach upstream providers. Replace data with synthetic <PERSON_0> tokens, and re-hydrate seamlessly on egress.
Cut costs. Track every token.
Stop flying blind. Metriota's embedded unit economics engine tracks exact dollar spend across providers, routing payloads dynamically based on live API health and tenant RPM limits.
Configure Dynamic RoutingInline Prompt Injection Defense
Protect your agents from adversarial attacks. Hot-reload custom heuristic regex patterns that intercept jailbreaks with a 403 Forbidden before GPU compute is wasted.
Threat Mitigated
Pattern Match: "Ignore previous instructions"
HTTP 403 / BLOCKED
One-Click Compliance Evidence.

Metriota is no longer just a proxy. It is an active, self-healing infrastructure layer designed for ML deployment and fine-tuning.
Vault-Aware Semantic Caching
Achieve sub-10ms response times and zero API costs. Metriota caches responses based on sanitized templates, allowing User A and User B to safely share the exact same cached LLM completion, re-hydrated dynamically with their own PII.
Hardware-Aware Automated Failover
Never drop a production request. Active circuit breakers monitor your local GPU nodes (vLLM, Ollama) via OTLP metrics. If latency spikes or KV cache saturates, traffic instantly reroutes to a configured cloud fallback.
Silent Shadow Routing
Evaluate experimental models safely in production. Metriota forks live traffic payloads to a secondary shadow model asynchronously, capturing side-by-side latency and quality metrics with zero impact on the end-user experience.
Data Flywheel Dataset Studio
Transform compliance logs into an ML data pipeline. Mine PostgreSQL WORM traces for high-quality, non-toxic interactions and instantly export them as perfectly sanitized, PII-free JSONL files for fine-tuning open-source models.
Track every metric. Secure every iota.
A modular, API-first architecture designed to integrate natively with your existing OTLP infrastructure.
