Reducing AI API Fallback Latency: A Study Inspired by Cloudflare AI Gateway
Explore why fixed timeouts fail for AI APIs and how adaptive, speculative, and load-aware fallback strategies can sharply cut tail latency while controlling cost and overload risk. Drawing on Cloudflare AI Gateway patterns, this engineering study shows how to turn fallback from a simple emergency switch into a smart, measurement-driven control layer.
