Adaptive Routing

Drover Gateway intelligently routes requests based on multiple real-time signals.

Routing Strategies

• Latency-aware — Sends to the fastest available provider
• Cost-aware — Routes to cheapest model that meets quality thresholds
• Failover — Automatic fallback on errors or rate limits
• Load balancing — Weighted distribution across keys/instances
• Custom rules — Model prefix, user, or team-based routing

Configuration

Go to Adaptive Routing in the sidebar to create rules.

Example Rule:

• If model contains claude and latency > 800ms → fallback to OpenAI
• If budget exhausted on primary key → route to secondary key
