* chore(build): move the Admin UI toolchain to Node 24
Node 18 and Node 20 both reached end of life (2025-04-30 and 2026-04-30), and
the release images along with every CI lane were still building on them. Node 24
is the current LTS through 2028-04-30, so this moves the four UI build images,
the CircleCI lanes, and the four GitHub Actions workflows onto it
Node 24 also ships npm 11.17, which is the first line that implements the
min-release-age setting this repo already carries in its .npmrc files. On npm 10
the key is parsed and discarded, so the release-age gate has had no effect
regardless of its value. Tightening the dashboard's engines range and turning on
engine-strict makes an unsupported npm fail loudly rather than skip the gate
quietly, and a new step in the UI build workflow probes an impossible cooldown
so an inert setting cannot pass unnoticed again
Node 24's bundled undici tightened its brand check on RequestInit.signal, which
rejects the AbortSignal jsdom installs and broke the two cases in
src/lib/http/api.test.ts that rebase a request onto a runtime base url. Under
jsdom the Request global comes from Node while AbortSignal comes from jsdom;
tests/jsdomFetchEnv.ts delegates to the jsdom environment and then restores
Node's native AbortController and AbortSignal so both come from one realm.
Upgrading jsdom does not address this, as jsdom still does not own Request
The workflows now read ui/litellm-dashboard/.nvmrc instead of repeating a
literal, so the Node version has a single source of truth, and ui/Dockerfile is
pinned by digest to match the other three build images. The lockfile changes are
npm 11 normalising the engines range and dropping optional peer entries it no
longer records
* fix(build): point every Admin UI build script at .nvmrc
The enterprise Docker path was left on Node 18. docker/build_admin_ui.sh runs
only when enterprise/enterprise_ui/enterprise_colors.json is present, which it
never is in the OSS tree, so neither CI nor a default image build reaches it;
it pinned nvm to v18.17.0 and then built the dashboard, which now requires Node
24, so a customized enterprise image would have failed EBADENGINE
All three UI build scripts now resolve the version from
ui/litellm-dashboard/.nvmrc rather than carrying their own pin, so the Node
version has a single home across Docker, CI, and local builds. build_ui.sh was
on v20 and build_ui_custom_path.sh on v18.17.0
Also drops the dependency-cooldown probe from the UI build workflow. The
engines floor plus engine-strict already fails an unsupported npm loudly at
install time, so the probe was redundant, and treating any nonzero exit from a
live registry call as proof of enforcement made it unsound besides
Split the monolithic LiteLLM proxy into independently scalable Kubernetes components to allow separate horizontal scaling of the LLM data plane and management API surfaces
- Add DatabaseURLSettings pydantic-settings model that assembles DATABASE_URL (and optional DATABASE_URL_READ_REPLICA) from discrete DATABASE_* env vars before Prisma initializes, supporting both IAM token auth (minting short-lived RDS tokens) and password auth; replaces the CLI-only path that componentized entrypoints bypass
- Add gateway component (port 4000) that trims the proxy route table to the LLM data-plane surface (chat, embeddings, completions, audio, realtime, provider passthroughs, health/metrics) via an allowlist applied inside the lifespan context so plugin-registered routes are captured
- Add backend component (port 4001) that exposes the management/admin surface (keys, users, teams, orgs, spend analytics, model management, SSO, audit logs) with a complementary allowlist
- Add ui component — Next.js static export served by nginx (port 3000) with RSC payload routing, asset prefix aliasing, and SPA fallback for dashboard routes
- Add migrations component with dedicated Dockerfile that runs prisma migrate deploy via a Helm pre-install/pre-upgrade Job, eliminating per-pod schema contention on the Prisma advisory lock
- Add Helm chart (helm/litellm) with separate Deployments, Services, HPAs, and ConfigMap for each component; shared _helpers.tpl emits DATABASE_*, IAM_TOKEN_DB_AUTH, REDIS_*, and DISABLE_SCHEMA_UPDATE env vars from chart values; ingress template routes traffic to the correct component by path prefix
- Add comprehensive tests for DatabaseURLSettings covering IAM auth, password auth, read replica fallbacks, operator-pinned URL preservation, and percent-encoding; add coverage test asserting gateway + backend allowlist union equals the full proxy route set
- Add pydantic-settings>=2.14.1 as a proxy extra dependency and update liccheck allowlist
