Show HN: Portus, A Rust Based API/AI/MCP Gateway

Portus, a Rust-based API, AI and MCP gateway built on the Rama networking stack, has been released on GitHub and conforms with the Kubernetes Gateway API specification, passing 130 of 130 tests across all profiles. Portus uses a split control/data plane architecture, replaced Pingora with Rama for better throughput and lower resource usage, and runs in standalone mode outside Kubernetes via a Yaml config file with built-in ACME support.

Portus is a Rust-based API/AI/MCP Gateway built on top of Rama as the networking stack (Rama replaced Pingora due to better throughput and lower resource usage).

Portus uses a split control/data plane architecture and conforms with the Kubernetes Gateway API specification (130/130 tests across all profiles).

Portus also runs in standalone mode outside of Kubernetes with a simple Yaml config file with ACME support built-in.

Please give it a try and if you like it then if you wouldn't mind going to Github and starring the project I would be very appreciative! If there is something missing that you would like to see then please leave feedback and I will see what I can do.

Thank you!
