What happens if the AI service is unavailable?

If Azure OpenAI is unavailable, the following applies:

  • AI-dependent pipeline stages (classification, extraction, analysis, answering) are queued and automatically retried. The pipeline architecture is based on idempotent workers and an SQS-based retry mechanism.

  • Core functions without AI remain operational: case management, document viewing, collaboration, and search work independently of AI availability.

  • No data loss: documents remain safely stored in S3 and are processed as soon as the service is available again.

The pipeline is designed so that temporary outages of an external service do not interrupt ongoing operations — only AI-powered processing is delayed.
