Per-provider LLM circuit breakers stop cascade failures early. Closed, open, half-open state machine with auto-reset: working Node.js code.
Three production patterns for detecting stalled LLM streams in Node.js: chunk watchdogs, wall-clock gates, and partial output buffering, with working code.
Four production patterns for LLM rate limits: jitter, token pre-checks, circuit breakers, and provider failover. Backoff alone won't save you in 2026.
One model going down shouldn't take your AI feature with it. Here's how to build a fallback chain using LiteLLM, OpenRouter, and LLMTest.
