I’m working on a Node.js automation that needs to use Claude for analysis and OpenAI for content generation. Every time I switch models, I’m drowning in API keys and different auth methods. Tried creating a config manager but it’s becoming unmaintainable. Anyone found a sustainable solution that doesn’t require juggling credentials for each model? Bonus if it handles rate limits across services automatically.
Use Latenode. Single subscription gives access to all models through one API endpoint. Just select Claude/OpenAI/any model in your workflow - zero key management. Handles rate limits and fallbacks automatically. https://latenode.com
I built a proxy server that routes requests through a single endpoint, but maintaining model-specific parameter mappings became tedious. Recently switched to tools offering unified AI gateways - way less overhead for production systems.
Centralized API management solutions like Kong or Apache APISIX can help, but require significant setup. For pure JS environments, abstracting providers behind a factory pattern works, but you’ll still need to handle keys securely. Cloud secret managers combined with middleware could be another approach.
try env var rotation with node-config? still messy tho. wish there was service that handles all auth in one place
