FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the Orbyt gateway.
This section addresses common inquiries regarding the architecture and operational capabilities of the gateway.
Proxy Architecture
Is Orbyt a proxy?
The gateway operates as an intelligent proxy layer. It sits between
your application and external LLM providers, abstracting
authentication and response formatting.
Key Management
Do I need my own provider keys?
Integration requires keys for each underlying provider you intend to use.
The gateway can manage these keys centrally or allow users to supply
their own credentials via the Bring Your Own Key system.
Infrastructure
Can I self-host the gateway?
The system is designed for private infrastructure deployment.
Self-hosting ensures absolute control over request headers,
audit logs, and internal key rotation.
Resilience
How do fallbacks operate?
If a primary provider encounters a failure, the engine automatically
cascades through your configured fallback chain.
The process concludes when a successful response is returned
or the chain is exhausted.
