Data Arbitration¶

The arbitration engine intelligently selects data providers based on multiple scoring factors.

Scoring Factors¶

Availability (30%)¶

Provider uptime and current health status.

Freshness (25%)¶

How recent the data is from each provider.

Reliability (25%)¶

Historical accuracy and consistency.

Latency (15%)¶

Response time and performance.

Cost (5%)¶

API rate limits and pricing considerations.

Fallback Strategy¶

When a provider fails:

1. Score remaining providers
2. Select next best option
3. Retry with exponential backoff
4. Cache fallback decisions

Configuration¶

Customize scoring weights in .env:

ARBITRATION_WEIGHT_AVAILABILITY=0.3
ARBITRATION_WEIGHT_FRESHNESS=0.25
ARBITRATION_WEIGHT_RELIABILITY=0.25
ARBITRATION_WEIGHT_LATENCY=0.15
ARBITRATION_WEIGHT_COST=0.05
