How to Safely Migrate Your OpenRouter Integration to a New API Gateway
Migrating an OpenRouter integration to another API gateway requires more than simply swapping a base URL — developers must first document the full contract their application depends on, including model IDs, streaming behavior, tool calls, error handling, and usage fields. The recommended approach involves testing a candidate gateway in isolation using a small canary before committing to any production-level changes. If the existing OpenRouter setup meets the application's requirements for billing, model availability, and operational behavior, staying on it may be the right call. A second gateway can also be configured as a tested backup without displacing the primary route. Full migration should only proceed after the candidate gateway passes workload-specific checks that match the original integration's acceptance criteria.
