Steering Traffic for Resilience
Single-provider dependence is a hidden single point of failure.
Relying on one provider is a single point of failure hiding in plain sight. Health-aware global load balancing across two DNS providers, combined with a multi-CDN posture, lets traffic steer around a provider incident automatically. The trick is real health signals and sane TTLs, so failover is measured in seconds and no single vendor outage takes the application with it.
Where AI helps
Predictive steering scores provider performance continuously and shifts traffic before users feel a slowdown, turning failover from a reaction into an anticipation.
