Show HN: Portus, A Rust Based API/AI/MCP Gateway
Measured with the open gateway-api-bench method: three interleaved rounds on one machine, against the same backend pods as the top-ranked gateway in that benchmark. Numbers from one machine are only comparable with each other. Failover figures come from the gateway-api-bench suite on Docker Desktop with no retry policy; with a RetryPolicy Portus returns 0 errors.
