Executive Summary

Modern dev teams building LLM-enabled and composable applications face noisy Layer 7 failures — rate limits, transient errors, and quota overages — that lead to retry storms, lost progress in agent workflows, and unpredictable bills; platform and API-integration engineers at an estimated 120,000 teams are directly impacted. Today’s retry logic is ad hoc and duplicated across services, and it rarely coordinates across agents or enforces cost-aware policies. You could build an SDK-first managed orchestration layer that coordinates retries, deduplicates and throttles requests across services, persists and resumes agent workflows, and exposes cross-API cost/backoff policies plus observability and a simple policy UI. Ship client and gateway primitives so teams can adopt coordinated retry and resume semantics without rearchitecting agents. This is timely: we estimate a $3.6B addressable market (120k teams × $30k ACV) driven by accelerating LLM/agent adoption and a shift to composable apps that prefer managed primitives. With medium competition and market/revenue scores in the high 80s, early focused positioning could capture platform buying cycles. The competitive edge is being a focused, SDK-first product that couples coordinated retry/resume semantics with API cost controls (rather than a general-purpose orchestrator), but you’ll need to solve distributed coordination, integrations with diverse APIs, and demonstrate clear ROI on reduced API spend and improved availability.

Market Opportunity

Coordinate retries and resume agent workflows when Layer 7 is unreliable targets a $3.6B = 120,000 engineering teams × $30K ACV annually for orchestration and resiliency tooling total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 30% YoY — estimated AI infrastructure and application platform spend growth (industry estimates from Gartner/IDC AI infrastructure reports).

Key trends driving demand: LLM and agent adoption — companies are increasing API calls to third-party LLM and data services, creating new demand for reliability tooling.; Shift to composable applications — developers prefer SDKs and managed primitives, which creates an opening for a focused orchestration layer.; Increased sensitivity to API costs — teams want to avoid overage bills and retry storms, motivating investment in coordinated retry and throttling.; Managed control planes and observability — teams are moving from DIY orchestration to managed services to reduce support load and incidents..

Key competitors include Temporal, LangChain, Prefect.
