Documentation for the VCAL infrastructure stack

Find deployment guides, configuration references, architecture documentation, integration guidance, and operational notes for AI Cost Firewall and the broader VCAL infrastructure stack.

Start here • AI control plane

AI Cost Firewall

Documentation for the OpenAI-compatible AI control plane for LLM traffic, routing, caching, limits, observability, production safeguards, and orchestration of VCAL security, privacy, audit, and compliance controls.

  • • Quickstart and Docker Compose setup
  • • Configuration and provider reference
  • • Exact and semantic caching
  • • Privacy, security, audit, and compliance integration
  • • Observability, evidence, failure handling, and operations
Extend the control plane

Privacy, security, audit, and compliance

Commercial VCAL modules extend AI Cost Firewall with runtime protection, sensitive-data controls, durable execution evidence, and compliance-oriented evaluation. Public integration guidance is available through AI Cost Firewall documentation today; dedicated module documentation sites will be added as each documentation source is separated.

Specialized infrastructure

VCAL Semantic Cache

Dedicated semantic cache infrastructure for environments that require semantic reuse to operate independently from the AI Cost Firewall deployment, including shared, persistent, or separately scaled production workloads.

  • • Installation and trial licensing
  • • Docker and binary deployment
  • • Persistence, operations, and observability
  • • API usage and production guidance
Choose the right entry point

Navigate the VCAL stack

Start with the AI control plane, extend it with enterprise controls, and move to dedicated semantic cache infrastructure when the workload requires independent scaling or shared semantic reuse.

AI control plane

AI Cost Firewall

Start here for LLM traffic control, routing, caching, provider integration, observability, safeguards, evidence delivery, and orchestration of VCAL enterprise controls.

Enterprise controls

Privacy, Security, Audit & Compliance

Use AI Cost Firewall integration guidance for runtime protection, sensitive-data handling, durable request evidence, and compliance-oriented evaluation.

Specialized infrastructure

VCAL Semantic Cache

Use the server docs when semantic reuse needs dedicated persistence, shared access, or independently scaled infrastructure beyond the standard AI Cost Firewall deployment.

Developer & open-source resources

vcal-core

Open-source semantic matching library and foundation for developers who need lower-level concepts, reusable building blocks, or direct integration guidance.

Documentation domains

Current public documentation URLs

Dedicated documentation sites for Privacy Guard, Security Guard, Audit, and Compliance will be added as those documentation sources are separated. Until then, this portal and AI Cost Firewall documentation provide the public integration entry points.
