Provider Failover

Provider failover moves traffic to an alternate model endpoint when the primary provider becomes unavailable or unhealthy.

WHY IT MATTERS

External AI APIs introduce dependencies outside your operational control.

PRODUCTION EXAMPLE

A regional provider outage causes the gateway to route eligible requests to a secondary model after health and quality checks.

SRE DECISION

Which workloads are allowed to fail over to a different model or provider?

REMEMBERFailover must preserve acceptable behavior, not only availability.
