Operate AI like production: serving, GPUs, latency, capacity, routing and reliability.
Circuit Breaker
A circuit breaker stops calls to a failing dependency temporarily so the system can recover instead of repeatedly hammering it.
Think of it like
Think of Circuit Breaker like familiar infrastructure capacity and traffic engineering, except the scarce resources are often tokens, GPU memory and model latency.
Real life
High-scale AI services depend on Circuit Breaker to keep cost and latency under control.
SRE lens
Open the circuit when an AI provider is returning sustained failures.
