Stay Online Reliability. It's one of the 5 pillars of Azure Well-Architect Framework. When starting to implement and go-to-market any new product witch has any integration with Open AI Service you can face spikes of usage in your workload and, even having everything scaling correctly in your side, if you have an Azure Open AI Services deployed using PTU you can reach the PTU threshold and them start to experience some 429 response code. You also will receive some important information about the when you can retry the request in the header of the response and with this information you can implement in your business logic a solution. Here in this article I will show how to use the API Management Service policy to handle this and also explore the native cache to save some tokens! Architecture Reference The Azure Function in the left of the diagram just represent and App request and can be any kind of resource (even in an On-Premisse environment). Our goal in this article is to show one in n possibilities to handle the 429 responses. We are going to use API Management Policy to automatically redirect the backend to another Open AI Services instance in other region in the Standard mode, witch means that the charge is going to be only what you use. First we need to create an API in our API Management to forward the requests to your main Open AI Services (region 1 in the diagram). Now we are going to create this policy in the API call request: <policies> <inbound> <base /> <set-backend-service base-url="<your_open_ai_region1_endpoint>" /> </inbound> <backend> <base /> </backend> <outbound> <base /> </outbound> <on-error> <retry condition="@(context.Response.StatusCode == 429)" count="1" interval="5" /> <set-backend-service base-url="<your_open_ai_region2_endpoint>" /> </on-error> </policies> The first part of our job is done! Now we have an automatically redirect to our OpenAI Services deployed at region 2 when our PTU threshold is reached. Cost consideration So now you can ask me: and about my cost increment for using API Management? Even if you don't want to use any other feature on API Management you can leverage of the API Management native cache and, once again using policy and AI, put some questions/answers in the built-in Redis* cache using semantic cache for Open AI services. Let's change our policy to consider this: <policies> <inbound> <base /> <azure-openai-semantic-cache-lookup score-threshold="0.05" embeddings-backend-id ="azure-openai-backend" embeddings-backend-auth ="system-assigned" > <vary-by>@(context.Subscription.Id)</vary-by> </azure-openai-semantic-cache-lookup> <set-backend-service base-url="<your_open_ai_region1_endpoint>" /> </inbound> <backend> <base /> </backend> <outbound> <base /> <azure-openai-semantic-cache-store duration="60" /> </outbound> <on-error> <retry condition="@(context.Response.StatusCode == 429)" count="1" interval="5" /> <set-backend-service base-url="<your_open_ai_region2_endpoint>" /> </on-error> </policies> Now, API Management will handle the tokens inputted and use semantic equivalence and decide if its fit with cached information or redirect the request to your OpenAI endpoint. And, sometime, this can help you to avoid reach the PTU threshold as well! * Check the tier / cache capabilities to validate your business solution needs with the API Management cache feature: Compare API Management features across tiers and cache size across tiers.

This article is part of a series of articles on API Management and Generative AI. We believe that adding Azure API Management to your AI projects can help you scale your AI models, make them more secure and easier to manage. We previously covered the hidden risks of AI APIs in today's AI-driven technological landscape. In this article, we dive deeper into one of the supported Gen AI policies in API Management, which allows you to minimize Azure OpenAI costs and make your applications more performant by reducing the number of calls sent to your LLM service. How does it currently work without the semantic caching policy? For simplicity, let's look at a scenario where we only have a single client app, a single user, and a single model deployment. This of course does not represent most real-world use-cases, as you often have multiple users talking to different services. Take the following cases into consideration: - A user lands on your application and sends in a query (query 1), They then send the exact same query again, with similar verbiage, in the same session (query 2), The user changes the wording of the query, but it is still relevant and related to the original query (query 3) The last query, (query 4), is completely different and unrelated to the previous queries. In a normal implementation, all these queries will cost you tokens (TPM), resulting in higher cuts in your billing. Your users are also likely to experience some latency as they wait for the LLM to build a response with each call. As the user base grows, you anticipate that the expenses will grow exponentially, making it more expensive to run your system eventually. How does Semantic caching in Azure API Management fix this? Let's look at the same scenario as described above (at a high level first), with a flow diagram representing how you can cut costs and boost your app's performance with the semantic cache policy. When the user sends in the first query, the LLM will be used to generate a response, which will then be stored in the cache. Queries 2 and 3 are somewhat related to query 1, which could be a semantic similarity, or exact match, or could contain a specified keyword, i.e.. price. In all these cases, a lookup will be performed, and the appropriate response will be retrieved from the cache, without waiting on the LLM to regenerate a response. Query 4, which is different from the previous prompts, will require the call to be passed through to the LLM, then grabs the generated response and stores it in the cache for future searches. Okay. Tell me more - How does this work and how do I set it up? Think about this - What would be the likelihood of your users asking related questions or exactly comparable questions in your app? I'd argue that the odds are quite high. Semantic caching for Azure OpenAI API requests To start, you will need to add Azure OpenAI Service APIs to your Azure API Management instance with semantic caching enabled. Luckily, this step has been reduced to just a one-click step. I'll link a tutorial on this in the 'Resources' section. Before you get to configure the policies, you first need to set up a backend for the embeddings API. Oh yes, as part of your deployments, you will need an embedding model to convert your input to the corresponding vector representation, allowing Azure Redis cache to perform the vector similarity search. This step also allows you to set a score_threshold, a parameter used to determine how similar user queries need to be to retrieve responses from the cache. Next, is to add the two policies that you need: azure-openai-semantic-cache-store/ llm-semantic-cache-store and azure-openai-semantic-cache-lookup/ llm-semantic-cache-lookup The azure-openai-semantic-cache-store policy will cache the completions and requests to the configured cache service. You can use the internal Azure Redis enterprise or any another external cache as long as it's a Redis-compatible cache in Azure API Management. The second policy, azure-openai-semantic-cache-lookup, based on the proximity result of the similarity search and the score_threshold, will perform a cache lookup through the compilation of cached requests and completions. In addition to the score_threshold attribute, you will also specify the id of the embeddings backend created in an earlier step and can choose to omit the system messages from the prompt at this step. These two policies enhance your system's efficiency and performance by reusing completions, increasing response speed, and making your API calls much cheaper. Alright, so what should be my next steps? This article just introduced you to one of the many Generative AI supported capabilities in Azure API Management. We have more policies that you can use to better manage your AI APIs, covered in other articles in this series. Do check them out. Do you have any resources I can look at in the meantime to learn more? Absolutely!

This article is part of a series of articles on API Management and Generative AI. We believe that adding Azure API Management to your AI projects can help you scale your AI models, make them more secure and easier to manage. In this article, we will shed some light on capabilities in API Management, which are designed to help you govern and manage Generative AI APIs, ensuring that you are building resilient and secure intelligent applications. But why exactly do I need API Management for my AI APIs? Common challenges when implementing Gen AI-Powered solutions include: - Quota, (calculated in tokens-per-minute (TPM)), allocation across multiple client apps, How to control and track token consumption for all users, Mechanisms to attribute costs to specific client apps, activities, or users, Your systems resiliency to backend failures when hitting one or more limits And the list goes on with more challenges and questions. Well, let’s find some answers, shall we? Quota allocation Take a scenario where you have more than one client application, and they are talking to one or more models from Azure OpenAI Service or Azure AI Foundry. With this complexity, you want to have control over the quota distribution for each of the applications. Tracking Token usage & Security I bet you agree with me that it would be unfortunate if one of your applications (most likely that which gets the highest traffic), hogs up all the TPM quota leaving zero tokens remaining for your other applications, right? If this occurs though, there is a high chance that it might be a DDOS Attack, with bad actors trying to bombard your system with purposeless traffic causing service downtime. Yet another reason why you will need more control and tracking mechanisms to ensure this doesn’t happen. Token Metrics As a data-driven company, having additional insights with flexibility to dissect and examine usage data down to dimensions like subscription ID or API ID level is extremely valuable. These metrics go a long way in informing capacity and budget planning decisions. Automatic failovers This is a common one. You want to ensure that your users experience zero service downtime, so if one of your backends is down, does your system architecture allow automatic rerouting and forwarding to healthy services? So, how will API Management help address these challenges? API Management has a set of policies and metrics called Generative AI (Gen AI) gateway capabilities, which empower you to manage and have full control of all these moving pieces and components of your intelligent systems. Minimize cost with Token-based limits and semantic caching How can you minimize operational costs for AI applications as much as possible? By leveraging the `llm-token limit` policy in Azure API Management, you can enforce token-based limits per user on identifiers such as subscription keys and requesting IP addresses. When a caller surpasses their allocated tokens-per-minute quota, they receive a HTTP "Too Many Requests" error along with ‘retry-after’ instructions. This mechanism ensures fair usage and prevents any single user from monopolizing resources. To optimize cost consumption for Large Language Models (LLMs), it is crucial to minimize the number of API calls made to the model. Implementing the `llm-semantic-cache-store` policy and `llm-semantic-cache-lookup` policies allow you to store and retrieve similar completions. This method involves performing a cache lookup for reused completions, thereby reducing the number of calls sent to the LLM backend. Consequently, this strategy helps in significantly lowering operational costs. Ensure reliability with load balancing and circuit breakers Azure API Management allows you to leverage load balancers to distribute the workload across various prioritized LLM backends effectively. Additionally, you can set up circuit breaker rules that redirect requests to a responsive backend if the prioritized one fails, thereby minimizing recovery time and enhancing system reliability. Implementing the semantic-caching policy not only saves costs but also reduces system latency by minimizing the number of calls processed by the backend. Okay. What Next? This article mentions these capabilities at a high level, but in the coming weeks, we will publish articles that go deeper into each of these generative AI capabilities in API Management, with examples of how to set up each policy. Stay tuned! Do you have any resources I can look at in the meantime to learn more? Absolutely!
