Configuration
Production Checklist
Before moving your Hyperion gateway to production, ensure you have addressed these critical security, performance, and reliability configurations.
01 — Security
Rotate API Keys
Ensure all platform keys (OpenAI, Anthropic) are stored in an encrypted vault and rotated quarterly.
02 — Reliability
Persistence Layer
Use a managed PostgreSQL instance (RDS/CloudSQL) for metadata persistence rather than local volumes.
03 — Performance
Replica Sets
Deploy Hyperion with at least 3 replicas behind a load balancer to handle peak traffic and failover.
04 — Security
mTLS & SSL
Force TLS for all gateway traffic and ideally use mTLS for internal communication with sidecars.
05 — Monitoring
Log Aggregation
Connect your gateway to Datadog, Sentry, or Grafana for real-time alerting on 5xx errors.
06 — Governance
Budget Enforcements
Set hard monthly spend limits per organization to prevent runaway costs from bug-loops.
Hard Requirement
Zero Trust Architecture
Hyperion is designed for Zero Trust environments. Never expose your internal Redis or Database ports to the public internet. All traffic should strictly flow through the authenticated Gateway layer.
