I have been building backend systems for a while. One thing I keep coming back to:
The reliability of a system is not determined by how well the main logic works. It is determined by how well you handle what goes wrong.
I am building an API gateway that talks to multiple LLM providers. What took the real time was not the routing. It was detecting failures, normalizing billing, and building alerting that does not bury you in noise.
Cut 350 daily notifications to 16 this week. Same coverage, less noise.
