Products, side by side

Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked

LangWatch

API service

LangWatch AI GatewayAPI service

Gateway that puts every LLM call through one endpoint on the customer's own provider keys, with per-person, team, project and customer spending budgets, provider fallback, a trace for every call and webhooks for billing end customers.

AI agent

LangyAI agent

LangWatch's automated AI engineer: it reads production traces, clusters failures, writes tests and opens a pull request with CI checks, running on the customer's own model keys; you review and merge.

Developer tool

LangWatch LLM observabilityDeveloper tool

LangWatch LLM observability traces model calls, tool calls and retrieval steps while displaying costs, latency and errors.

Mastra

API service

Mastra GatewayAPI service

An OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible model gateway that routes one API key to 300+ models with provider failover, and adds observational memory that compresses each conversation into notes so agents keep context without rebuilding it.

AI agent

Mastra CodeAI agent

An open-source terminal coding agent with Build, Plan and Fast modes and explore, plan and execute subagents, whose observational memory compresses the session into notes instead of compacting it, so long sessions keep their context.

Mastra FactoryAI agent

An open-source software delivery environment where coding agents take a connected repository's issues through investigation, planning, implementation and review to a reviewed pull request, with people deciding at each step; self-hosted or deployed on Mastra's platform.

Developer tool

MastraDeveloper tool

An open-source TypeScript framework that developers use to build, run and observe AI agents and workflows, with a hosted Studio and cloud deployment option.

Mastra StudioDeveloper tool

A shared workspace where a team inspects agent runs through traces and cost, latency and quality metrics, scores outputs with LLM-as-judge or code, runs dataset experiments and versions prompts and agent configurations, open to non-engineering reviewers without source access.

Agent platform

Mastra Agent BuilderAgent platform

A UI mounted inside a team's own Mastra server for creating and operating internal agents, with multi-tenant workflows, role-based access and channel integrations, licensed for production under Mastra's enterprise licence.

Infrastructure service

Mastra Platform ObservabilityInfrastructure service

Hosted telemetry store for Mastra agents in production: it keeps the metrics, structured logs and step-by-step traces of model calls, tool calls and workflow steps for every run, with dashboards for cost, latency and quality scores.

Mastra ServerInfrastructure service

Hosted deployment target that runs a Mastra application's agents, tools and workflows as an API server from one command, with routing and scaling handled by Mastra and billing by CPU time and data egress.
