Design resilient API execution for AI apps and agents in Microsoft Marketplace

Discover how to design resilient and reliable APIs for AI apps and agents selling through Microsoft Marketplace. This Marketplace Community article explains why reliability is a critical readiness requirement and how predictable API behavior protects customer trust when systems encounter failure.

AI apps and agents depend on APIs for every stage of execution—from model inference to tool calls and orchestration. Designing clear API boundaries, enforcing timeouts and retries, and applying resilience patterns such as circuit breakers and bulkheads helps contain failures, prevent cascading issues, and keep agent behavior bounded as solutions scale.

Learn how to design AI systems that fail safely, operate predictably, and remain stable under real customer load across Marketplace environments.
