  "title": "How Interfaze serves 50 million requests a month on Vercel",
  "why_included": "Interfaze’s stack shows one way to run checkable AI workloads: isolated code execution, provider failover, durable workflows, and version-specific deployments.",
  "summary": "Interfaze serves **50 million requests a month** from a Vercel backend using Fluid compute. Its models return structured results with source locations and confidence scores, while Vercel Sandbox isolates model-written code.",
  "practical_implication": "For agent-backed products, separate deterministic extraction from general-purpose generation and make outputs inspectable. **AI Gateway** supplies provider failover and routing, while **Workflow SDK** preserves long-running email sequences across retries and pauses.",

    "meaning": "This case study combines several prior infrastructure controls in one production account: inspectable structured outputs, isolated execution for model-written code, gateway routing and failover, and durable workflows for paused or retried sequences. It supports the architecture pattern, but vendor-reported scale and build speed do not establish comparative performance, cost, or reliability.",
