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.", "body_md": "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).\n\nPortus uses a split control/data plane architecture and conforms with the Kubernetes Gateway API specification (130/130 tests across all profiles).\n\nPortus also runs in standalone mode outside of Kubernetes with a simple Yaml config file with ACME support built-in.\n\nPlease 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.\n\nThank you!\n\n[https://github.com/Portus-Gateway/Portus](https://github.com/Portus-Gateway/Portus)\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49938517](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49938517)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-portus-a-rust-based-api-ai-mcp-gateway", "canonical_source": "https://portus-gateway.dev/", "published_at": "2026-10-02 20:56:22+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-02 21:06:24.457330+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-infrastructure", "agent-protocols", "developer-tools", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Portus", "Rama", "Pingora", "Kubernetes Gateway API", "GitHub"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-portus-a-rust-based-api-ai-mcp-gateway", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-portus-a-rust-based-api-ai-mcp-gateway.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-portus-a-rust-based-api-ai-mcp-gateway.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-portus-a-rust-based-api-ai-mcp-gateway.jsonld"}}
