STATUS: UPSTREAM: ANTHROPIC CLAUDE 3.5 SONNET
P99 LATENCY: 284ms
v0.9.4-rc2 // Multi-Cloud Failover & Fault Injection

Zero dropped inference calls.
Even when upstream APIs collapse.

OpsGimbal acts as a low-latency proxy between your application and frontier AI models. When upstream providers experience 429 rate-limits, 504 gateway timeouts, or latency spikes, OpsGimbal automatically trips the circuit and shunts requests to your containerized local GPU pipelines without terminating the client socket.

// CORE ROUTING

Engineering-grade routing.

Everything that ships in the v0.9.4 beta. No roadmap promises — these are built, tested, and running in staging.

Autonomous Circuit Breaker

Configurable failure thresholds, exponential backoff, and half-open state testing. Prevents cascading connection exhaustion when upstream rate limits are reached.

Supported ProtocolsgRPC, REST, WebSockets
Latency Overhead< 2ms

Local GPU Fallback Shunting

Native integration with local Ollama, vLLM, and Triton Inference Server. Connect via TCP or Unix sockets on WSL2/bare-metal Linux clusters when cloud providers degrade.

Supported EnginesOllama, vLLM, Triton
Socket TypeUnix / TCP

Semantic Cache & Routing

Embedded Redis/SQLite token cache for deterministic queries. Speculatively queries secondary models when primary latency exceeds custom SLO thresholds.

Cache DatastoresRedis, SQLite-WAL
Hit Latency< 1ms
// CHAOS MATRIX

Observe and destroy.

Validate resilience by actively breaking your infrastructure in staging environments.

Chaos Injection Matrix

Safely inject synthetic failure modes into staging: HTTP 429 throttling, artificial packet jitter (100ms–2500ms), truncated JSON streams, and silent socket closures to validate downstream resilience.

Fault Types429, Jitter, Close
Jitter Range100ms – 2500ms

Telemetry & SLO Tracing

Native /metrics scrape target exporting request counters, failover ratios, token consumption diffs, and latency percentiles directly to Prometheus and Datadog.

ExportersPrometheus, Datadog, OTel
Metrics Interval1s

Infrastructure Fault Testing

Built-in chaos modules to simulate database locks, storage replication lag, and webhook delivery timeouts to ensure full-stack self-healing workflows work before deployment.

// DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE

Drop-in replacement for OpenAI SDKs.

Just change the base URL. No need to rewrite your application logic to support multi-model failover.

from openai import OpenAI

# Point the SDK to your local OpsGimbal proxy
client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:8080/v1",
    api_key="og-dev-token"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="llm-inference", # Matches your gimbal.yaml route ID
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about resilience."}]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
// ARCHITECTURE

Request flow topology.

Every inference request passes through the gateway. The circuit breaker evaluates health on each hop.
