Deploying Anthropic Claude apps gateway for AWS for enterprise workloads
Amazon Web Services Dani Mitchell
Claude apps gateway for AWS is a self-hosted governance layer inserted between Claude Code/Claude Desktop and Amazon Bedrock or Claude Platform on AWS to centrally control authentication, model access, telemetry, routing, and spend enforcement for enterprise teams. It issues short-lived bearer tokens valid for 1 hour by default, and requests use that token to apply per-user policies and budget caps. This changes deployments by moving sign-in, policy evaluation, and spend enforcement to the gateway (with no upstream credentials on developer machines) while enabling per-identity usage attribution and immediate HTTP 429 responses when budgets are hit.
