Merq ⚡

Merq is an open-source API gateway for tracking, limiting, and billing LLM usage.

It sits between your app and providers like OpenAI or Anthropic and gives you:

• Token & cost tracking
• Per-key budgets
• Rate limiting
• Usage aggregation
• Billing exports
• Alerts & webhooks

Why Merq?

LLM usage is expensive and unpredictable. Merq makes it observable and enforceable.

• ✅ Per-request token tracking
• ✅ Per-API-key daily & monthly cost aggregation
• ✅ Redis-backed rate limiting
• ✅ Budget limits with soft alerts
• ✅ PostgreSQL persistence
• ✅ Provider-agnostic architecture
• ✅ Open-source
