The programmable trust layer
between your applications and provider APIs.
Seven concrete deployment scenarios where teams are already running Edgify. Each one shows the credential failure mode and the architecture that replaces it.
Every agent gets its own isolated key.
AI agents now execute production operations autonomously. Handing them the company master key turns one bug into a financial incident — and one compromised tool into a credential exfiltration vector.
- ✕Unrestricted provider keys live in agent processes
- ✕Runaway loops burn the monthly budget overnight
- ✕No per-agent attribution when costs spike
- ✕No revocation path for a compromised tool
- ✕Master key leaks across every MCP integration
- ✓One scoped sub-key per agent or MCP tool
- ✓Hard budget ceilings, throttling on anomaly
- ✓Per-agent request log + cost attribution
- ✓Revoke a single tool in under a minute
- ✓Master credential never sees the agent process
A rogue agent can spend its sub-key budget but nothing else. The blast radius is bounded by policy, not by your trust in the model.
Client-side API access
without exposing provider credentials.
Mobile apps increasingly need direct access to AI, storage, image, search, and messaging APIs. The traditional answer — ship a provider key in the bundle — fails every audit. The other answer — wrap every call in a backend proxy — adds latency, infrastructure, and maintenance you don't want.
Edgify is the third answer. Direct-to-provider architecture, safely.
- ✕APK / IPA reverse engineering recovers any embedded secret.
- ✕A leaked key cannot be revoked without shipping an app update.
- ✕Old app versions in the wild still hold the leaked credential.
- ✕No per-user attribution — every install shares one identity.
- ✕No path-level restrictions — a leaked key has full provider access.
- ✕Rotation requires coordinating across every published store.
- ✓Per-install (or per-user) virtual credentials — issued lazily, scoped tight.
- ✓Revoke a compromised key globally in under a minute. No app update.
- ✓Origin/device binding so a leaked key fails outside its app context.
- ✓Path + method restrictions (upload-only, search-only, model-allowlist).
- ✓Hard per-key budget. One device cannot drain the company account.
- ✓Per-user attribution for support, audit, and tenant isolation.
No backend rewrite
The mobile app talks directly to the upstream URL pattern it already knew. Only the base URL and key change.
Rotate without updates
Push a new sub-key to the device through your existing config channel. Old key gets revoked. No store roll.
Direct-to-provider
Streams, uploads, and large bodies flow through the edge without buffering. Latency stays low.
The correct architecture for modern mobile apps is direct-to-provider behind a governed credential. Edgify is that credential layer.
Direct API access from the browser. Without the abuse.
Frontends increasingly call AI APIs, search APIs, and uploads directly. A key in JavaScript is a key in every devtools console — and a magnet for scrapers, scrapers-of-scrapers, and quota exhaustion.
- ✕Embedded provider key visible to every visitor
- ✕No usage attribution per session or user
- ✕Abuse by scrapers exhausts the monthly quota
- ✕No path or origin restrictions on the upstream
- ✕Compromised key cannot be revoked without redeploy
- ✓Origin-pinned sub-keys (server rejects keys used outside the bound domain)
- ✓Per-session ephemeral credentials with short TTL
- ✓Per-key rate limits + per-IP throttling
- ✓Live anomaly alerts on scraping patterns
- ✓Revoke a single session globally in seconds
A leaked browser key fails outside its allowed origin. A misbehaving session hits its rate limit and stops cold.
Every tenant isolated. By construction.
When every customer of your SaaS shares one provider key, every customer shares the same blast radius. Edgify gives each tenant its own credential, its own budget, its own audit trail.
- ✕One shared key means cross-tenant exposure on leak
- ✕No per-tenant cost attribution for billing
- ✕Noisy-neighbor tenants exhaust shared quota
- ✕No isolation when a tenant credential is compromised
- ✕Inconsistent enforcement across application code paths
- ✓One virtual key per tenant, scoped to that tenant's allowed paths
- ✓Per-tenant budget and rate limits enforced at the edge
- ✓Per-tenant request logs for invoicing + support
- ✓Revoke a single tenant without affecting any other
- ✓Policy enforced before traffic reaches your code
A tenant's incident is contained to that tenant. Costs route to invoices automatically. Compromise becomes a single-revoke event.
Give every developer (and assistant) their own key.
Cursor, Claude Code, internal copilots, local assistants — they all want an AI API credential. Shared org keys mean shared budgets, shared incidents, and no insight into who burned what.
- ✕Shared org-level API key sprayed across developer laptops
- ✕No attribution when a developer's tool loops out of control
- ✕Compromised laptop = compromised company key
- ✕No model restriction (junior dev opens the gpt-4o tap)
- ✕No team budget — finance discovers the spike at month-end
- ✓Developer-scoped sub-keys provisioned by SSO group
- ✓Team budgets, per-developer rate limits
- ✓Per-tool / per-machine attribution for every request
- ✓Model allowlists per role (interns get cheaper models)
- ✓Revoke a stolen laptop's credential without rotating the company key
Every developer keeps shipping. Finance sees per-developer cost. Security has a real revocation path that doesn't require rotating the master key.
Path-prefix-scoped upload credentials.
S3, R2, Cloudinary — direct upload from clients is faster and cheaper than proxying through your backend. But a credential with full bucket access is a credential too dangerous to ship.
- ✕Bucket-wide access from clients enables cross-tenant reads
- ✕No size, MIME, or path restriction at the edge
- ✕No rate limit per uploader
- ✕Compromised key can read every file in the bucket
- ✕Pre-signed URLs require server-side issuance for every upload
- ✓Sub-keys scoped to a path prefix (uploads/{tenant_id}/*)
- ✓Upload-only permission — no read, no delete
- ✓Hard MIME + size limits enforced at the edge
- ✓Per-key rate limits + anomaly detection
- ✓Revoke instantly without rotating the master credential
Direct-from-client uploads with the safety of pre-signed URLs and the ergonomics of a long-lived credential.
Index-scoped, abuse-resistant search keys.
Algolia, vector search, semantic search — frontend usage is the point. But public search clients invite scraping, quota exhaustion, and a billing surprise.
- ✕Full-cluster API key embedded in client-side code
- ✕No index-level scoping — one leak exposes everything
- ✕No per-key query rate limit
- ✕Scrapers can drain the monthly query quota
- ✕No way to differentiate organic users from abuse
- ✓Index-scoped sub-keys (search-only on `products` index)
- ✓Per-key query rate limits enforced at the edge
- ✓Hard monthly query ceilings + anomaly throttling
- ✓Per-session attribution for spam-pattern detection
- ✓Origin-pinning so leaked keys fail outside your app
Search stays public-facing without becoming a free scraping endpoint. Costs stay bounded.
Edgify is the credential layer between your systems and the APIs they consume.
Replace the master key. Issue sub-keys per identity. Enforce policy at the edge. Audit everything. Revoke in under a minute.
