Here's how it usually goes. One app needs a model, so you paste the API key into its .env. Then a second app needs one. Then a script. Six months later the same key is in five places, nobody remembers which of them is still running, and you can't rotate it without breaking something you'll only find out about when it breaks.

A gateway is the boring fix. One endpoint in front of every model, one place that holds the real credential, and a scoped key per app that you can revoke on its own. This post deploys one on a WEC Instance and points it at the WEC Inference API.
