Retry and Fallback: How Edgee Keeps Your LLM Requests Reliable

Edgee offers a robust retry-and-fallback system for applications using LLM-powered features, ensuring high success rates for API calls even amid failures. Instead of naive retry logic, Edgee classifies errors into categories that determine specific recovery actions, such as retrying the same provider, switching to another, or returning an error immediately, depending on the error type. The system scores and ranks providers based on real-time performance metrics, ensuring optimal fallback sequences while adapting to provider performance changes. For streaming requests, Edgee limits retries to before data transmission starts, transparently surfacing errors if failures occur mid-stream. Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) users benefit from the same resilience, with Edgee preferentially using their keys while offering platform-managed providers as a backup. Comprehensive observability is maintained through detailed logging of all failed attempts, enabling teams to monitor provider reliability and understand fallback scenarios. Overall, Edgee aims to provide seamless user experiences by efficiently managing failures and offering full visibility into the process.
