Anthropic ships Claude apps gateway for Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud
Anthropic shipped the Claude apps gateway — a single stateless container, backed by Postgres, that holds the upstream credential, authenticates developers over OIDC, and routes inference to the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, or Google Cloud with optional failover. It replaces per-developer cloud credentials and manual laptop config with one control plane for corporate SSO, central policy, per-user cost attribution, and daily-to-monthly spend caps. Anthropic also published the gateway protocol, so other gateway developers can implement the same identity, policy, and telemetry features.

The gateway is a self-hosted control plane that gives you corporate SSO login, centrally enforced policy, role-based access, and per-user cost attribution for Claude Code.
Why this matters
- → Eliminates per-developer cloud credentials and manual laptop configuration overhead.
- → Centralizes policy, cost attribution, and spend caps across entire developer teams.
- → Open protocol enables third-party gateways to implement same identity and telemetry features.
