Migration Guide

Move your existing LLM application to Vaikora with minimal code changes. In most cases, you only need to update your API base URL and add a Vaikora API key header.

Migration Overview

Vaikora is a drop-in OpenAI-compatible gateway that sits between your app and model providers. Migration requires changing your API endpoint and adding authentication—no changes to request/response formats or model names needed.

From Direct OpenAI

Replace your OpenAI base URL with Vaikora's gateway endpoint and add your Vaikora API key as the Authorization header. Your existing client code and prompts remain unchanged.

From LangChain

Point your LangChain client to Vaikora's gateway URL instead of OpenAI's. LangChain's native support for custom base URLs means no dependency changes or SDK updates required.

From Another Security Provider

Export your existing security rules or policies and re-implement them in Vaikora's rule engine. The gateway's OpenAI-compatible interface eliminates vendor lock-in on the runtime layer.
