TrueFoundry

Kubernetes-native platform requiring cloud infrastructure

Weeks to deploy
Requires Kubernetes expertise
Basic gateway features
Single deployment only

The Hidden Complexity of TrueFoundry

TrueFoundry requires managing Kubernetes clusters, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps teams. Requesty gives you enterprise features without any infrastructure.

Kubernetes Expertise

  • Deploy and maintain Kubernetes clusters
  • Configure networking and load balancers
  • Handle cluster upgrades and patches
  • Manage node pools and scaling

Cloud Infrastructure

  • Provision compute resources in your cloud
  • Set up VPCs and security groups
  • Configure storage and databases
  • Manage cloud costs and optimization

Operational Overhead

  • 24/7 monitoring and incident response
  • Capacity planning and scaling
  • Backup and disaster recovery
  • Security patches and compliance

💡 Real Infrastructure Costs

True Enterprise Governance vs Infrastructure Platform

TrueFoundry focuses on infrastructure deployment. Requesty provides comprehensive enterprise governance with a 5-layer policy engine designed for LLM management.

1. Organization Level

Requesty Only

Global policies across your entire organization

Model spending limits
Approved provider lists
Data residency requirements

2. Group Level

Requesty Only

Department or team-specific policies

Engineering vs Marketing budgets
Model access by team
Usage quotas per group

3. Service Account Level

Requesty Only

Application and service-level controls

Production vs staging limits
Service-specific routing
Automated policy enforcement

4. User Level

Requesty Only

Individual user permissions and limits

Personal usage quotas
Model access permissions
Request rate limiting

5. API Key Level

Requesty Only

Granular key-level restrictions

IP address restrictions
Time-based access
Model-specific keys

⚠️ TrueFoundry Limitation

TrueFoundry provides basic RBAC and rate limiting but lacks the comprehensive policy hierarchy needed for enterprise LLM governance. You'll need to build custom solutions on top of their platform.

Why Enterprises Choose Requesty Over TrueFoundry

Instant Deployment

Start using enterprise LLM capabilities in minutes. No Kubernetes setup, no cloud configuration, no DevOps team required.

TrueFoundry requires weeks of setup: provisioning Kubernetes clusters, configuring cloud infrastructure, and training your team on their platform.

True Multi-Region

Deploy instantly across Frankfurt, Virginia, and Singapore with guaranteed data residency and sub-50ms latency globally.

TrueFoundry deploys only in your single cloud region. Multi-region requires managing multiple Kubernetes clusters yourself.

Zero Infrastructure Costs

Pay only for what you use. No Kubernetes clusters, no idle compute, no DevOps salaries, no infrastructure overhead.

TrueFoundry requires $20,000+/month in infrastructure plus 2-3 DevOps engineers to maintain your deployment.

Enterprise LLM Focus

Purpose-built for LLM management with smart routing, caching, and a 5-layer policy engine designed for enterprise governance.

TrueFoundry is a generic ML platform trying to do everything. Their LLM gateway is just one feature among many, lacking depth.
