Guides & Tutorials

Step-by-step implementation guides, deployment patterns, egress interception, and gateway integrations.

Welcome to the Mandrel guides section. These practical walk-throughs cover deployment, traffic interception, and mesh integration.

In This Section

  • Getting Started: Deploy your first governed agent in four steps: author, validate, test locally, and deploy to Kubernetes.
  • Deployment Variants: Patterns for deploying Mandrel across Kubernetes, Serverless, and Managed Agent Platforms.
  • Egress Governance Architecture: Transparent Envoy proxying, outbound tool interception, and Collet fallback modes.
  • Kong Gateway & Mesh Integration: Compile Mandrel specs directly into declarative Kong AI Gateway policies and Mesh traffic permissions.

Getting Started

Deploy your first governed AI agent with Mandrel.

Deployment Variants

Universal governance across Kubernetes, Serverless, and Managed Agent Platforms.

Egress Governance Architecture

Outbound traffic interception, transparent Envoy proxying, and Collet fallback modes for agent egress governance.

Kong Gateway & Mesh Integration

Compile Mandrel specs directly into declarative Kong AI Gateway policies and Kong Mesh traffic permissions.
