Priority Failover
Learn how Priority Failover routing ensures maximum API reliability by automatically switching to backup endpoints when your primary provider fails, with seamless recovery.
Priority Failover is designed for teams that want maximum reliability and a predictable primary provider. In this mode, all requests are routed to your highest-priority endpoint. The Gateway continuously monitors its health and automatically redirects traffic if issues arise
How It Works
- Primary-first routing: All requests go to Endpoint #1 (your chosen primary provider).
- Automatic failover: If the primary endpoint becomes unresponsive the Gateway immediately switches traffic to the next healthy endpoint in the list.
- Automatic recovery: Once the primary endpoint becomes healthy again, traffic is seamlessly routed back without any manual intervention.
Endpoint Ordering
You have full control over priority by dragging and dropping endpoints to reorder them in your Gateway. The topmost endpoint becomes your primary provider.
