🛡️Automatic Failover & Redundancy
Ensure uninterrupted AI workflows with intelligent provider switching and health monitoring
← Back to Documentation🛡️ Automatic Failover & Redundancy
Ensure maximum uptime and reliability with intelligent failover systems that automatically switch between providers when issues are detected.
Zero-Downtime Protection
- 🔄 Instant Provider Switching - Automatic failover in under 500ms
- 💓 Health Monitoring - Real-time status checking of all providers
- 🎯 Smart Recovery - Automatic return to primary providers when healthy
- 📊 Reliability Scoring - Dynamic prioritization based on performance history
How Failover Works
1. Health Detection
Continuous monitoring detects provider issues, API rate limits, or service outages
2. Instant Switching
Requests are automatically routed to backup providers without interruption
3. Transparent Recovery
Service returns to primary providers once health is restored
Failover Scenarios
Common Triggers
- API service outages
- Rate limit exceeded
- High latency detected
- Authentication failures
- Network connectivity issues
Automated Responses
- Switch to backup provider
- Adjust request parameters
- Queue requests during recovery
- Log incidents for analysis
- Send health notifications
