Building a Sub-Millisecond AI Gateway in Go for Autonomous Coding Agents

When building workflows with autonomous coding agents (like Claude Code, Cursor, or OpenCode), agent execution loops issue dozens of rapid LLM calls per minute. Standard Python-based proxies introduce 40ms–100ms of latency per hop, balloon to hundreds of megabytes in memory, and easily choke during parallel agent streaming.

To solve this, I built GoRoute (https://github.com/ziuus/goroute) — an ultra-lightweight, high-throughput AI gateway and dynamic LLM router written in Go.

Key Features

  • Sub-0.8ms Local Routing: Baseline footprint <12MB RAM.
  • Universal Protocol Translation: Translate OpenAI format to Anthropic messages format.
  • Dynamic Failover Cascades: Automatic fallback from Claude 3.5 Sonnet to DeepSeek-V3 or GPT-4o.
  • Multi-Account Token Pooling: Distribute requests round-robin across multiple API keys.
