Description
Hey HNers - Riz here.I got together with a few guys and we built an LLM gateway.It's designed for small teams working on early-stage products, and can be deployed to AWS using a single command (i.e. `mantis deploy`).It's self-hosted, and is designed to belong to you.

Could you build this?
Yes This is a self-hosted API proxy routing LLM requests with credential management and basic cloud deployment scripts (Terraform/CloudFormation), well within the capabilities of AI-assisted coding.
