What Barndoor does
Barndoor provides an LLM gateway that governs AI requests. It applies vendor-specific cache instructions, data protection, and request measurement.
Why teams reach for it: It reduces the engineering work and cost uncertainty involved in maintaining vendor-specific prompt caching, security, routing, and monitoring.
Worth knowing
Its primary function is access governance, scanning tool descriptions. It supports prompt-injection detection.
