Service Tiers
A planned service_tier parameter — flex, standard and priority lanes for Vedika Standard 2.5.
Planned
Service tiers are not live yet. This page documents the planned shape so you can design for it ahead of time — do not build against it as a working feature today.
#What it is
A planned service_tier request parameter with three values: "flex", "standard" (default) and "priority". It is marked "coming soon" in the API spec today Planned, and applies to Vedika Standard 2.5 only (speed:"standard", version:"2.5") — see the Model Catalog.
#The three lanes
| Lane | Selector | Planned behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| Flex | service_tier:"flex" | A deferred-capacity lane — a lower rate in exchange for possibly queuing at peak load. |
| Standard | service_tier:"standard" | The default lane. What every request gets today, implicitly. |
| Priority | service_tier:"priority" | Higher-priority scheduling ahead of standard-lane requests. |
#Current status
Nothing to change in your integration today — omitting service_tier behaves exactly as it does now. When this ships, it will only affect requests that explicitly opt in on Vedika Standard 2.5. Track availability on the Model Catalog and the Changelog.
