How to Govern Claude Code Usage Across Engineering Teams

A startup case showed how separate team adoption of Claude Code led to a large bill with no visibility into usage.

The article argues for routing Claude Code through an AI gateway like Bifrost to enforce centralized policy.

That gateway can add virtual keys, model restrictions, rate limits, budget controls, and audit logs.

The goal is to prevent spend overruns, reduce risky access, and make team usage traceable across engineering orgs.
