feat(otel): attribute Prisma database spans to PostgreSQL instead of localhost (#36595)
* feat(otel): attribute Prisma database spans to PostgreSQL instead of localhost

Prisma reaches PostgreSQL through a query engine on loopback, so transport
instrumentation attributes database waits to localhost and operators cannot
tell the work is PostgreSQL or correlate it with the database's own metrics.

Datastore service spans now carry db.system.name, db.system, db.operation.name
and, for PostgreSQL, server.address, server.port and db.namespace derived from
DATABASE_URL, and are emitted as CLIENT spans. Only host, port, database and
schema are read, so no credential reaches an exporter. Endpoint attributes are
omitted when a read replica is configured, because routing is decided per Prisma
call underneath the span.

* fix(otel): reject a mis-split DSN authority and name socket-only databases

An unencoded '/' in the password truncates the URL authority, so urlparse
reports the username as the host and the password tail as the database, which
put credential material in db.namespace. Postgres drivers reject that DSN
outright, so the only safe reading is no endpoint at all.

A hostless 'postgresql:///litellm' is a valid local-socket DSN that Prisma
accepts, and it now yields db.namespace with no server address rather than
nothing. The default schema is matched case-insensitively, since an unquoted
PostgreSQL identifier folds and one deployment must yield one namespace.

* fix(otel): keep a non-default schema in db.namespace

Prisma quotes the schema name, so a DSN with ?schema=PUBLIC provisions a
second schema alongside public rather than reusing it. Observed on a live
proxy: the PUBLIC schema came up with its own 70 tables next to public's 78,
and a key created under one was not visible under the other.

Case-folding the two into a single namespace therefore reported two different
schemas as the same database, which is the misattribution this feature exists
to remove. Match the default literally.

* fix(otel): reject any DSN whose userinfo fell outside the authority

An unencoded '#' or '?' in the password sends the tail to the fragment or
query, leaving the path empty, so the marker check on the database segment
never fired and urlparse's hostname (the database username) was exported as
server.address.

The stranded userinfo '@' is the general tell for every mis-split, so guard on
that instead of enumerating the characters that cause it.

* fix(otel): allow an at-sign inside a well-formed DSN query

The previous guard rejected any DSN whose userinfo at-sign fell outside the
netloc, which also caught libpq parameters that legitimately carry one, so
?application_name=svc@prod and ?user=admin@company.com lost their endpoint
attributes.

Discriminate instead: a PostgreSQL DSN never has a fragment, its database name
cannot hold an unencoded at-sign or slash, and an at-sign in the query is only
suspicious when the query did not parse as parameters.

* fix(otel): resolve the database endpoint per span instead of once per process

The endpoint was cached for the process lifetime on the premise that
DATABASE_URL is deployment-static. It is not. The RDS IAM refresh rebuilds the
URL from DATABASE_HOST/PORT/NAME/SCHEMA on every rotation, the reconnect path
re-reads DATABASE_URL, and the DB-backed environment_variables config overlay
sets arbitrary keys post-startup with no blocklist covering DATABASE_*. A
process that had genuinely failed over kept exporting the old server.

Read the environment per span, which is also what Prisma connects with, so the
span can no longer name a different server than the one serving the query;
get_secret_str consulted a secret manager first and could diverge from it. Only
the parse is memoized, keyed on the URL.

* fix(otel): reject a question-mark mis-split whose tail parses as parameters

A '?' in a password strands the rest of the authority in the query, and that
tail can still parse as key=value, so testing only for an unparseable query let
the login through as server.address. One spelling hijacked the host= parameter
and put the password suffix there directly.

A legitimate at-sign in a query always follows a database path, and a
'?'-mis-split never leaves one, so require both.

* refactor(otel): drop the DSN parse cache that retained rotated credentials

The cache was keyed on the full DATABASE_URL, so up to eight complete DSNs,
each carrying a password or a retired IAM token, stayed referenced for the
process lifetime and outlived the rotation that replaced them. Nothing reached a
span, but a heap dump or crash report would have surfaced them.

Parsing costs about four microseconds against a span emission that costs orders
of magnitude more, so the cache bought nothing worth that.

* fix(otel): avoid a set construction the tightened LIT002 budget rejects

* fix(otel): refuse an ambiguous DSN authority instead of guessing at it

A password holding both an unencoded slash and a query-like tail defeated all
three shape checks: the slash left a clean path carrying the password
remainder, the query still parsed as parameters, and no fragment survived. The
login went out as server.address, the password's leading digits as server.port
and the rest as db.namespace.

A DSN whose at-sign sits in a query parameter is indistinguishable from that
mis-split by any property of the parse; both leave no userinfo, a host, a port
and a path. Guessing wrong publishes a credential fragment, so the ambiguity
now resolves to refusing the endpoint. Such a DSN loses server.address and
db.namespace and keeps the rest of the span; percent-encoding the at-sign
restores them.

Also honour port= alongside host=, which libpq pairs and this read ignored.

* docs(otel): fix a spliced sentence and a stale cache claim in db_endpoint

LiteLLM AI Gateway

What is LiteLLM

LiteLLM is an open source AI Gateway that gives you a single, unified interface to call 100+ LLM providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Azure, and more — using the OpenAI format.

Use it as a Python SDK for direct library integration, or deploy the AI Gateway (Proxy Server) as a centralized service for your team or organization.

Why LiteLLM

Managing LLM calls across providers gets complicated fast — different SDKs, auth patterns, request formats, and error types for every model. LiteLLM removes that friction:

  • Unified API — one interface for 100+ LLMs, no provider-specific SDK juggling
  • Drop-in OpenAI compatibility — swap providers without rewriting your code
  • Production-ready gateway — virtual keys, spend tracking, guardrails, load balancing, and an admin dashboard out of the box
  • 8ms P95 latency at 1k RPS (benchmarks)

Get Started

You can use LiteLLM through either the Proxy Server or Python SDK. Both give you a unified interface to access multiple LLMs (100+ LLMs). Choose the option that best fits your needs:

LiteLLM AI Gateway LiteLLM Python SDK
Use Case Central service (LLM Gateway) to access multiple LLMs Use LiteLLM directly in your Python code
Who Uses It? Gen AI Enablement / ML Platform Teams Developers building LLM projects
Key Features Centralized API gateway with authentication and authorization, multi-tenant cost tracking and spend management per project/user, per-project customization (logging, guardrails, caching), virtual keys for secure access control, admin dashboard UI for monitoring and management Direct Python library integration in your codebase, Router with retry/fallback logic across multiple deployments (e.g. Azure/OpenAI) - Router, application-level load balancing and cost tracking, exception handling with OpenAI-compatible errors, observability callbacks (Lunary, MLflow, Langfuse, etc.)

Stable Release: Use docker images with the -stable tag. These have undergone 12 hour load tests, before being published. More information about the release cycle here

Support for more providers. Missing a provider or LLM Platform, raise a feature request.

Deploy on AWS or GCP with Terraform

Run the LiteLLM proxy as a production-ready componentized stack (gateway, backend, UI on separate services; managed Postgres + Redis + object store) using the published Terraform modules. Both modules are on the public Terraform Registry — no auth needed.

AWS — ECS Fargate + Aurora + ElastiCache + ALB

Launch in AWS CloudShell — opens an in-browser shell, already authenticated to your AWS account. Once inside, run:

git clone https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm.git
cd litellm/terraform/litellm/aws/examples/default
cp terraform.tfvars.example terraform.tfvars   # edit region/tenant/env
terraform init && terraform apply

Module page →

Or call the module from your own root config:

# main.tf
terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.6.0"
  required_providers {
    aws = { source = "hashicorp/aws", version = "~> 5.60" }
  }
}

provider "aws" {
  region = "us-west-2"
}

module "litellm" {
  source  = "BerriAI/litellm/aws"
  version = "~> 1.89"

  region = "us-west-2"
  azs    = ["us-west-2a", "us-west-2b"]
  tenant = "acme"
  env    = "prod"

  # Production: provide an ACM cert. Without one, set allow_plaintext_alb = true
  # (dev/trial only).
  # acm_certificate_arn = "arn:aws:acm:us-west-2:111122223333:certificate/..."
  allow_plaintext_alb = true
}

output "litellm_url" {
  value = module.litellm.alb_dns_name
}
terraform init
terraform apply

Provider API keys live in AWS Secrets Manager; reference ARNs via gateway_extra_secrets. Full input list and architecture diagram on the registry page.

GCP — Cloud Run + Cloud SQL + Memorystore + HTTPS LB

Open in Cloud Shell

Real 1-click. Opens Cloud Shell, clones this repo, and walks you through terraform apply via a built-in DeployStack tutorial — pick the project, the tutorial sets up the Artifact Registry remote repo, writes terraform.tfvars from your answers, and runs apply.

Module page →

To call the module from your own config instead, Cloud Run can't pull from ghcr.io directly, so first set up a one-time Artifact Registry remote repo backed by GHCR:

gcloud artifacts repositories create litellm \
  --location=us-central1 \
  --repository-format=docker \
  --mode=remote-repository \
  --remote-docker-repo=https://ghcr.io \
  --project=my-gcp-project

Then:

# main.tf
terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.6.0"
  required_providers {
    google      = { source = "hashicorp/google",      version = "~> 6.10" }
    google-beta = { source = "hashicorp/google-beta", version = "~> 6.10" }
  }
}

provider "google"      { project = "my-gcp-project"; region = "us-central1" }
provider "google-beta" { project = "my-gcp-project"; region = "us-central1" }

module "litellm" {
  source  = "BerriAI/litellm/google"
  version = "~> 1.89"

  project_id = "my-gcp-project"
  region     = "us-central1"
  tenant     = "acme"
  env        = "prod"

  # Replace my-gcp-project with your GCP project ID (same value as project_id above).
  image_registry = "us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/my-gcp-project/litellm/berriai"

  # Production: provide DNS already pointing at the LB IP for Google-managed certs.
  # Without one, set allow_plaintext_lb = true (dev/trial only).
  # lb_domains         = ["proxy.example.com"]
  allow_plaintext_lb = true
}

output "litellm_url" {
  value = module.litellm.load_balancer_url
}
terraform init
terraform apply

Provider API keys live in Secret Manager; reference resource IDs (e.g. projects/my-gcp-project/secrets/openai-api-key) via gateway_extra_secrets. Full input list and architecture diagram on the registry page.

Both stacks include

  • The full componentized split (gateway / backend / UI as independent services)
  • Managed Postgres (writer + reader) and Redis
  • Versioned object store for proxy state + file uploads
  • An auto-generated LITELLM_MASTER_KEY in your cloud's secret manager
  • A one-off migration job that runs prisma migrate deploy before the proxy starts
  • The same proxy_config surface as the Helm chart — pass YAML as a typed map

The Terraform modules live at terraform/litellm/aws/ and terraform/litellm/gcp/ in this repo; the registry entries are read-only mirrors updated on each release.

Run in Developer Mode

Services

  1. Setup .env file in root
  2. Run dependent services docker-compose up db prometheus

Backend

  1. Run make bootstrap
  2. Start proxy backend: uv run python litellm/proxy/proxy_cli.py

Frontend

  1. Navigate to ui/litellm-dashboard (dependencies were already installed w/ make bootstrap)
  2. Start dashboard: npm run dev

Verify Docker Image Signatures

All LiteLLM Docker images published to GHCR are signed with cosign. Every release is signed with the same key introduced in commit 0112e53.

Verify using the pinned commit hash (recommended):

A commit hash is cryptographically immutable, so this is the strongest way to ensure you are using the original signing key:

cosign verify \
  --key https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BerriAI/litellm/0112e53046018d726492c814b3644b7d376029d0/cosign.pub \
  ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:<release-tag>

Verify using a release tag (convenience):

Tags are protected in this repository and resolve to the same key. This option is easier to read but relies on tag protection rules:

cosign verify \
  --key https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BerriAI/litellm/<release-tag>/cosign.pub \
  ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:<release-tag>

Replace <release-tag> with the version you are deploying (e.g. v1.83.0-stable).
