LLM Fallback Strategies: Multi-Provider Failover Architecture (Part 1 of 2)

Introduction: Production LLM applications must handle failures gracefully—API outages, rate limits, timeouts, and degraded responses are inevitable. Fallback strategies ensure your application continues serving users when the primary model fails. This guide covers practical fallback patterns: multi-provider failover, graceful degradation, circuit breakers, retry policies, and health monitoring.

Streaming LLM Responses: SSE, WebSockets, and Real-Time Token Delivery (Part 1 of 2)

Introduction: Streaming responses dramatically improve perceived latency in LLM applications. Instead of waiting seconds for a complete response, users see tokens appear in real-time, creating a more engaging experience. Implementing streaming correctly requires understanding Server-Sent Events (SSE), handling partial tokens, managing connection lifecycle, and gracefully handling errors mid-stream. This guide covers practical streaming patterns: basic […]
