Installing Apiary with the Apiary CLI

Introduction

Apiary is a large language model (LLM) gateway for handling requests to multiple LLM providers with a unified API. It provides built-in observability, cost tracking, fallbacks, request routing, simple and semantic caching, and output guardrails.

The Apiary CLI tool facilitates easy deployment of its AWS infrastructure. Once deployed, you can start making LLM requests using the Apiary SDK.

An active AWS account with a user or role that has the AdministratorAccess policy attached. This user or role must be configured for use with the AWS CLI.
AWS CLI is installed and configured
AWS CDK is installed
AWS Bedrock is configured in your account to allow access to the Titan Text Embeddings V2 model
- Bedrock access must be configured through the Bedrock console. Follow these steps to grant access to the Titan Text Embeddings V2 model.
Node.js and npm are installed

apiary --help

First Time Usage

Running apiary create will clone the Apiary CDK infrastructure into a new apiary folder inside your current working directory. Make sure you're in the directory where you want the apiary folder to be created before running the command.

Upon running apiary create, you'll be prompted to provide your LLM provider API keys as part of the deployment process. These will be securely stored using AWS Secrets Manager.

Once deployed, the Apiary CLI will output:

An AiGatewayRestApiEndpoint URL - you can start sending LLM requests to this URL using the Apiary SDK
An API key to use when sending requests to your Apiary instance. Please save this key securely for future reference
- You can manage API keys and usage plans for your Apiary instance using the commands below
A FrontendBucketUrl URL - visit this URL to access the Observability and Management Dashboard. Use the dashboard to:
- Set custom routing rules for your Apiary instance
- Configure caching and guardrails settings
- Monitor requests and LLM responses flowing through the system
