Edge-First Resilience#

0ms
Zero Customer Impact
If Aforo central is unreachable, gateway caches serve entitlements locally.

Aforo's globally distributed architecture ensures that even during a regional outage, your API gateway continues to function without interruption:

FAILOVER CHAIN
1. Normal → Entitlements served from Redis edge cache (TTL 30s)
2. Central unreachable → Stale cache continues serving (grace period: 5min)
3. Cache expired → Gateway falls back to fallback_on_error: allow (fail-open)
4. Recovery → Central reconnects → cache refreshed → usage events drained from buffer
INFO
During a failover, usage events are buffered locally at the gateway and drained to Aforo once connectivity is restored. No metering data is ever lost — even during extended outages.

Radical transparency. Every customer can see exactly what is happening with the platform at any time.
