AI API Gateway Pitfall Map

Your AI gateway works — until it doesn't.

One wrong model name and every request returns 503. One missed fallback order and your bill triples. One cached key and your "rotated" credentials are still live in production.

The AI API Gateway Pitfall Map is a single-page reference built from 18-channel, multi-provider production experience with LiteLLM Proxy + New API. It gives you:

• 5 deployment pitfalls — symptom → root cause → fix, no filler
• 3 hidden cost traps — retry amplification, embedding tax, connection pool OOM — with exact config overrides
• A failure decision tree — trace any error code to resolution in under 60 seconds
• A pre-launch security checklist — the 3 things to do before traffic hits
• Quick-reference commands — copy-paste diagnostics you'll use weekly

This is not a tutorial. It's the page you print and pin next to your monitor — because when your gateway goes down at 2 AM, you won't be reading a 40-page guide.
