SilkRouter guide

AI API observability for model-powered products

SilkRouter helps teams understand AI traffic by connecting keys, model requests, status, token usage, and customer-safe billed amounts.

How it works

One AI infrastructure control platform, explicit controls, measurable usage

Observability should answer what was called, whether it worked, how much was used, and where operators should investigate.

Provider dashboards can be useful, but product teams often need a cross-workflow view tied to their own keys, customers, workspaces, and funded balance.

Control layer
Keys, routing, balance, reports
Migration check
SDK, model IDs, streaming
First test
One workflow and one key
Benefits

Why teams evaluate this path

Track model and status per request

Review usage by key or workflow

Find failed or unusual calls

Keep customer UI focused on usage and status

Decision guide

What to check before production traffic

Compatibility

Confirm SDK behavior, base URL setup, model IDs, streaming, and error handling before moving production traffic.

Operating controls

Check how API keys, balance, request logs, low-balance behavior, and offboarding work after launch.

Reporting workflow

Make sure the usage view answers finance, support, agency, or customer questions without rebuilding data manually.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before switching

Use these answers to decide what to test, what to keep, and what not to assume before moving production traffic.

What should AI API observability track?

At minimum: timestamp, key or workspace, model, status, input tokens, output tokens, billed amount, latency, and safe error summary.

Should prompts always be stored?

Not automatically. Prompt retention needs a clear privacy policy and product reason.
