Rate Limiting & Quota Management

Allocates finite provider capacity across tenants and workloads, preventing one from consuming it all.

Description

Controls how shared provider capacity is distributed: per-tenant limits, priority lanes, queueing and backpressure. Necessary because provider rate limits are a shared finite resource.

When it fits

Multi-tenant deployments, particularly where load is synchronised across the customer base rather than averaged.

When it does not fit

Single-tenant deployments well below provider limits.

Governance requirement

Where a tenant's contractual service level depends on AI-assisted features, quota allocation becomes a commitment rather than an operational preference.

Characteristic failure

Fair-share allocation failing precisely when it matters, because in calendar-driven domains every tenant peaks in the same five days rather than at random.

Example

A large tenant reprocessing a month of documents during the window when every other tenant is closing, held to a concurrency limit with a separate lane.

Deliberately empty

Two different absences share this shape. Foundational solutions get built whatever the domain, so no domain links them; the rest are solutions this domain genuinely does not reach for. v_ai_solutions_unlinked separates the two.
