Simplified Onboarding

Cloudflare AI Gateway now removes friction from the getting-started experience. Previously, developers had to manually create a gateway through the dashboard or API before making their first request. Now, simply use default as your gateway ID and the service will automatically provision it for you.

Default Configuration

The auto-created default gateway comes with sensible defaults to help you get started securely:

• Authentication: Enabled by default to secure your gateway
• Log collection: Enabled to track requests and troubleshoot issues
• Caching: Disabled
• Rate limiting: Disabled

This configuration strikes a balance between security and ease of use, allowing you to start building immediately while maintaining visibility into your requests.

Next Steps

For more details on configuring your gateway beyond these defaults, including enabling caching and rate limiting, refer to the Default gateway documentation.
