Why This Topology Works

Edge functions process queries close to users for low latency. Semantic cache avoids redundant LLM calls for similar queries. Vector DB provides context-aware retrieval for grounded answers.

Scaling Notes

Edge functions scale automatically with CDN provider. Semantic cache reduces LLM costs by 40-60%. Vector DB partitions by embedding namespace.

Observability

Track cache hit rate, embedding latency, vector search recall, LLM token usage, and end-to-end TTFB from edge.
