Planning to solve a new larger project

I chose the project with Bifrost because the description as Fastest LLM gateway (50x faster than LiteLLM) with adaptive load balancer, cluster mode, guardrails, 1000+ models support & <100 µs overhead at 5k RPS.

The current issue:
In the Bifrost Web UI, API key management only supports "add/delete." When users want to pause a key (keep the configuration but stop using it), they can only delete and recreate it, which leads to weak User Experience.

In this issue that the solution may be:
Frontend: Toggle Switch + Disabled status display (ui/)
Backend: Add Enabled: *bool field, HTTP handler filtering (transports/bifrost-http/)
Core: Provider selector skips disabled keys (core/bifrost.go)
Database: Configstore schema migration (framework/configstore/)
Real-time sync: Toggle takes effect immediately, no restart needed

I have worked on multiple open-source CLI tools (including LLM integrations) and WebSocket websites, but this is my first challenge:

  • High-performance Go + Next.js architecture (68% Go + 23% TypeScript)
  • Production-grade LLM gateway (1300+ stars, actively maintained)
  • Starting from the frontend and then gradually going deeper into the backend core.

Learning Value:

  • Go pure HTTP handler implementation (core/)
  • Next.js + Go backend integration patterns
  • Bifrost configstore architecture (framework/configstore)

Conclusion:
It is not only adjust the User Interface on the web page but also need to modify the core code.
