Summary
AWS shipped Claude Apps Gateway, a self-hosted control plane shipping inside the Claude Code CLI binary that centralizes access, cost, and policy for Claude Code and Desktop. The stateless container runs on ECS/EKS/EC2 behind an ALB with RDS for PostgreSQL, routing inference to Bedrock, Claude Platform, or other upstreams like Google Cloud's Agent Platform, while handling identity via OIDC, policy per group, OpenTelemetry telemetry, and spend caps. Within a day, practitioners were already probing identity edge cases the gateway does not yet address.
