A Cloudflare AI Gateway Alternative with Active Security, Not Just Caching
Cloudflare AI Gateway gives you caching, rate limiting, and observability. Anoman adds the layer it's missing: prompt-injection defense, PII masking, policy enforcement, and a Jakarta-hosted gateway with each model's processing region disclosed.
Cloudflare AI Gateway is great at what it does — caching, rate limiting, retries/fallbacks, and analytics in front of your LLM calls. But it's a passive observability-and-caching layer: it doesn't inspect or block prompt-injection, mask PII, enforce tool-call policy, or run a Jakarta-hosted gateway.
Anoman AI is a guarded gateway. Every call passes through an active security pipeline — injection detection, PII masking (incl. Indonesian NIK), content moderation, and policy enforcement — before it reaches the model, with a Jakarta-hosted, UU PDP-ready gateway and IDR billing on top of the routing, caching, and observability you'd expect.

Why teams switch to Anoman
Active security, not just caching
Anoman inspects and blocks prompt-injection, masks PII, and enforces content + tool-call policy on every request — Cloudflare AI Gateway does none of this.
Data residency that fits Indonesia
A Jakarta-hosted, UU PDP-ready gateway, with Bahasa moderation and NIK/NRIC PII detection. Cloudflare AI Gateway has no Indonesian residency story.
Local payments
Pay in Rupiah via DOKU (VA, QRIS, e-wallet) — no USD card required.
Still a full gateway
You keep caching, fallbacks, rate limiting, and observability — Anoman just adds the security and compliance layers on top.
Frequently asked questions
Does Cloudflare AI Gateway block prompt injection or mask PII?
No — Cloudflare AI Gateway focuses on caching, rate limiting, fallbacks, and observability. It does not actively detect/block prompt-injection or mask PII. Anoman adds that active security layer.
Can I use Anoman's caching like Cloudflare's?
Yes. Anoman provides provider-side prompt caching and an opt-in exact-match response cache plus rate limiting and fallbacks, alongside the guardrail pipeline.
Why does data residency matter here?
If you handle Indonesian personal data, UU PDP and data-localization expectations make where data is processed material. Anoman's gateway processes and stores Indonesian customer data in Jakarta; Cloudflare AI Gateway offers no Indonesia-specific residency.
