    Routing & Fallback

    Multi-provider routing with health-aware fallback

    Define routing rules across providers and regions. Requests automatically fall over to healthy backends when upstreams degrade, time out, or rate limit.

    Core Benefits

    Key value points mapped to practical production workflows.

    Benefit

    01

    Reduced single-provider risk

    When one upstream goes down, traffic shifts to fallback providers instead of impacting your end users.

    Benefit

    02

    Latency-aware routing

    Prefer providers with the lowest observed latency and success rate over a rolling window.

    Benefit

    03

    Per-model routing rules

    Tune routing priority, fallback chain, and timeout policy independently for each model.

    Recommended Workflow

    A simple 3-step path to integrate this capability into gateway calls, routing policy, and billing controls.

    Step 1

    Define route

    Map each model id to a primary provider plus an ordered fallback chain.

    1

    Step 2

    Set policy

    Pick timeouts, retry limits, and health thresholds that match your latency and reliability budget.

    2

    Step 3

    Monitor and tune

    Inspect provider health and fallback rate in the dashboard and refine rules as traffic shifts.

    FAQ

    What triggers a fallback?

    Upstream timeouts, 5xx responses, rate limit errors, or breaching the health threshold all trigger fallback to the next provider in the chain.

    Can I disable fallback for a specific request?

    Yes. Per-request and per-key policy overrides let you force a specific provider when needed.
