Welcome to the digiRunner Documentation Center — your gateway to understanding, deploying, and mastering the next-generation API Gateway + AI Gateway platform.

As modern systems evolve toward AI-driven architectures, APIs have become more than just integration points — they are the foundation for security, scalability, automation, and now intelligent interaction. digiRunner helps you navigate this transformation with an open-source, UI-driven platform designed for mission-critical environments.

From API Gateway to AI Gateway

The digiRunner project has officially entered its next era. Building upon our robust API Gateway capabilities, we now introduce AI Gateway support, enabling developers and enterprises to:

  • Seamlessly integrate AI models, LLM agents, and AI workflows using familiar API patterns

  • Standardize access control and request governance for AI-related traffic

  • Apply rate limits, authentication, routing rules, and auditing to both API and AI endpoints

  • Manage multi-model environments with UI-based configuration

  • Bring AI capabilities into existing API ecosystems without rewriting architecture

digiRunner now empowers teams not only to manage APIs, but also to operationalize AI safely, efficiently, and consistently.

What digiRunner Solves

APIs—and now AI endpoints—can quickly become difficult to govern. digiRunner tackles these challenges head‑on:

Challenge

Without digiRunner

With digiRunner

Endpoint Management

Scattered API and AI endpoints across teams

Centralized governance for APIs & AI models

Access Control

Manual token handling & inconsistent policies

Unified OAuth2/OIDC, RBAC, and API key management

Routing

Static routing configurations

Intelligent, non-blocking traffic dispatching

AI Usage Safety

Risky or unmonitored AI service consumption

Real-time monitoring dashboards with AI usage insights

Version & Workflow Management

Manual tracking, slow updates

Built-in version control and routing strategies

Onboarding & Learning Curve

Slow onboarding and steep learning curves

AI-assisted onboarding, documentation, and troubleshooting

Key Features (API + AI)

  • AI Gateway Support – Manage AI endpoints with governance, routing, rate limiting, and access control.

  • Intelligent Traffic Dispatching – Non-blocking request handling ensures availability even under high load.

  • RBAC & Authentication – OAuth2/OIDC, API keys, and fine-grained role policies.

  • Rate Limiting & Quotas – Protect APIs and AI endpoints with flexible throttling rules.

  • Real-Time Monitoring – Track traffic, errors, and AI call behavior instantly.

  • Easy Deployment – Local, Docker, or cloud-native environments, fully UI-driven.

  • AI-Powered Documentation – Faster learning with intelligent search and contextual guidance.
