As organizations move from AI experimentation to production, controlling how agents and AI applications interact with LLMs at scale has become critical. Lunar.dev addresses this need with an AI gateway that delivers granular, policy-driven control over AI interactions, with the visibility, security, and performance required for enterprise environments. These capabilities enable organizations to move from pilot to production with confidence, ensuring AI operates reliably, securely, and within defined guardrails.
“At Boomi, we see a clear shift from AI experimentation to real-world deployment,” said Steve Lucas, Chairman and CEO of Boomi. “Our intent to acquire Lunar.dev is focused on one priority: giving customers control over every interaction between AI, data, and applications. That’s essential to building trust and scaling AI with confidence.”
Strengthening AI Governance and Control
With Lunar.dev, Boomi will introduce a centralized and decentralized control layer for managing AI interactions across the enterprise. This enables organizations to:
- Enforce fine-grained policy and governance across every AI interaction
- Secure and precisely control AI access to enterprise data and systems
- Achieve full observability into AI activity, including prompts, responses, and downstream actions
- Operate AI at scale with high-performance routing and execution
- Deploy with flexibility, including full tenant control across on-premises, private cloud, and sovereign environments
Expanding Boomi Connect with Governed Agent Connectivity
Lunar.dev is expected to become a key component of Boomi Connect, extending Boomi’s ability to enable secure, governed connectivity between AI tools (e.g. Claude, Copilot, Gemini) and enterprise applications through 1000+ managed, MCP-enabled tools. With Lunar.dev, Boomi will add a MCP gateway that additionally provides:
- Cost management and observability
- Scalable AI connectivity across hybrid and multi-cloud environments
Together with the Boomi MCP Registry, organizations can discover, govern, and manage AI services through a centralized catalog across Boomi and third-party environments.
These capabilities establish Boomi Connect as a unified foundation for governed agent connectivity, enabling organizations to scale AI securely across the enterprise.
Supporting the Next Phase of Agentic AI
This move reflects Boomi’s vision for the agentic enterprise: moving beyond fragmented tools toward a unified platform for connectivity, automation, and governance.
“This is about helping customers turn AI into a trusted, operational capability,” Lucas added. “With governance embedded at every layer, organizations can move faster while staying in control.”
