🎯 Use Cases

1. Multi-Provider Applications

Switch between providers seamlessly based on cost, latency, or availability:

import { OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure, Bedrock } from '@llm-dev-ops/connector-hub-providers';

const hub = new ConnectorHub({
  providers: {
    openai: OpenAI.createOpenAIProvider({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY! }),
    anthropic: Anthropic.createAnthropicProvider({ apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY! }),
    google: Google.createGoogleProvider({ apiKey: process.env.GOOGLE_API_KEY! }),
    azure: Azure.createAzureProvider({
      apiKey: process.env.AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY!,
      resourceName: process.env.AZURE_RESOURCE_NAME!,
      deploymentName: 'gpt-4o-deployment',
    }),
    bedrock: Bedrock.createBedrockProvider({
      region: 'us-east-1',
      accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID!,
      secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY!,
    }),
  },
  selector: {
    type: 'cost-optimized', // Automatically select cheapest provider
  },
});

2. High-Availability Services

Automatic failover ensures continuous service across multiple providers:

const hub = new ConnectorHub({
  providers: {
    primary: OpenAI.createOpenAIProvider({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY! }),
    secondary: Anthropic.createAnthropicProvider({ apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY! }),
    tertiary: Bedrock.createBedrockProvider({
      region: 'us-east-1',
      accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID!,
      secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY!,
    }),
  },
  selector: {
    type: 'failover',
    primary: 'primary',
    fallback: 'secondary',
  },
  middleware: [
    new RetryMiddleware({ maxAttempts: 3 }),
    new CircuitBreakerMiddleware({ threshold: 5 }),
  ],
});

3. Cost Optimization

Reduce API costs by 70-90% with intelligent caching:

const hub = new ConnectorHub({
  providers: { anthropic },
  cache: {
    type: 'memory',
    maxSize: 1000,
    ttl: 3600, // 1 hour
  },
});

// First call hits API
const response1 = await hub.complete(request);

// Subsequent identical calls use cache (250,000x faster!)
const response2 = await hub.complete(request); // <2μs from cache

4. Production Monitoring

Full observability out of the box:

import { LoggingMiddleware, MetricsMiddleware } from '@llm-dev-ops/connector-hub-middleware';

const hub = new ConnectorHub({
  providers: { anthropic },
  middleware: [
    new LoggingMiddleware({ level: 'info' }),
    new MetricsMiddleware({ port: 9090 }), // Prometheus metrics
  ],
});
