# :rocket: Smart Load Balancing for OpenAI Endpoints and Azure API Management

![Smart APIM load balancing](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure-Samples/openai-apim-lb/main/images/intro-loadbalance.png)

Many service providers, including OpenAI, set limits on API calls. Azure OpenAI, for instance, has limits on tokens per minute (TPM) and requests per minute (RPM). Exceeding these limits results in a 429 'TooManyRequests' HTTP Status code and a 'Retry-After' header, indicating a pause before the next request.

This solution incorporates a comprehensive approach, considering UX/workflow design, application resiliency, fault-handling logic, appropriate model selection, API policy configuration, logging, and monitoring. It introduces an Azure API Management Policy that seamlessly integrates a single endpoint to your applications while efficiently managing consumption across multiple OpenAI or other API backends based on their availability and priority.

## :sparkles: Smart vs. Round-Robin Load Balancers

Our solution stands out in its intelligent handling of OpenAI throttling. It is responsive to the HTTP status code 429 (Too Many Requests), a common occurrence due to rate limits in Azure OpenAI. Unlike traditional round-robin methods, our solution dynamically directs traffic to non-throttling OpenAI backends, based on a prioritized order. When a high-priority backend starts throttling, traffic is automatically rerouted to lower-priority backends until the former recovers.

### Key Features:

- **Prioritized Traffic Routing**: Implementing 'priority groups' allows for strategic consumption of quotas, prioritizing specific instances over others.

- **No Delay in Backend Switching**: Our policy ensures immediate switching to different endpoints without delay, contrary to many existing API Management sample policies that introduce waiting intervals.

### Scenarios and Priority Groups:

- **Provisioned Throughput Deployment (PTU)**: Set as Priority 1 to utilize its capacity first, given its fixed pricing model.
- **Fallback S0 Tier Deployments**: Spread across different regions, these are set as Priority 2 and beyond, used when PTU is at capacity.

In cases where multiple backends share the same priority and are all operational, our algorithm randomly selects among them.
