Economic control for the Azure AI estate.
Metergrade extends Azure API Management and Azure AI infrastructure with workload economics, quality-validated optimization and continuous efficiency governance.
Beside the request path. Never in it.
Applications keep calling Azure API Management. APIM keeps routing to Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry and your other endpoints. Metergrade adds no hop, no proxy and no new gateway.
What Metergrade consumes, and what it emits.
The integration surface is deliberately narrow. Telemetry your gateway already produces flows in; deployment-ready artifacts flow back out through your existing pipeline.
Consumes
- APIM TELEMETRY · REQUESTS, TOKENS, LATENCY
- MODEL AND DEPLOYMENT METADATA
- CALLER, APPLICATION AND DEPARTMENT CONTEXT
- YOUR QUALITY, LATENCY AND RELIABILITY THRESHOLDS
Emits
- APIM POLICIES · VALIDATED, VERSIONED
- DEPLOYMENT ATTESTATION · PENDING, MATCHED, MISMATCHED
- EVIDENCE FILES · HASH-VERIFIED, TRACE TO THE ROW
Metergrade extends Azure API Management. It never replaces it. Traffic continues to flow through the gateway your platform team already governs, under the access controls and approvals you already enforce.
Measured on Azure, validated against your thresholds, deployed through your controls.
Metergrade establishes the economic baseline from APIM telemetry, identifies inefficient configurations across Azure OpenAI and Azure AI Foundry deployments, validates each candidate change against your own requirements, and emits the change as configuration your team reviews and ships.
