Score: 7.8/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 9, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

Portus is a Rust-based Kubernetes gateway that unifies Gateway API implementation, an AI gateway for LLM providers (Anthropic/OpenAI), and an MCP gateway for tool servers on a single data plane. It achieves full Gateway API v1.6.2 conformance (130/130 tests) and offers policy-driven control over routing, auth, budgets, and token metering without calling out on the request path.

Target audience: devops, platform engineers, backend developers
