Cloud and AI Gateway

Flashback’s Cloud and AI Gateway is the unified entry point for connecting, governing, and consuming cloud and AI services across your organizations, workspaces, and repositories. It centralizes identities, keys, and usage while providing a consistent API layer for your applications.

What is the Gateway?

The gateway is an abstraction layer that sits between your applications and cloud/AI providers. It simplifies multi-provider integration, enforces your security policies, and exposes consistent endpoints for storage, AI, and network resources.

On the network side, the gateway is backed by Bridge Nodes: the physical network layer that connects and surfaces network state. These nodes act as the tangible gateway, providing visibility into network conditions and enabling secure connectivity between your services and external providers.

Bring your own key (BYOK)

The bring your own key model lets you use your own provider keys (AWS, GCP, Azure, OpenAI, etc.) while benefiting from centralized governance. Flashback does not replace your accounts: it builds on your existing credentials and helps you organize, monitor, and secure them at scale.

The 4 core features

The Cloud and AI Gateway is built around four pillars:

Cloud Storage: connect and expose your cloud buckets through a unified interface, with fine-grained access control and usage metrics.
LLM: configure AI providers and expose OpenAI-compatible endpoints with centralized governance policies.
Repositories: group storage and AI into a single logical endpoint, and manage repo-scoped access keys.
Network: observe and manage network state, endpoints, and access rules to secure and standardize service consumption, powered by Bridge Nodes.
