An Evolutionary Architectural Pattern for Managing the Pace of AI Change

This article, based on the collective insights from InfoQ's certified architect online event participants, explores the AI gateway as an evolutionary architecture seam. It argues that the rapid evolution of AI models, protocols, and failure modes creates a fundamental pace mismatch with enterprise systems, and an AI gateway can isolate this change. The pattern centralizes model routing, security, observability, and audit in a control plane, allowing the rest of the system to remain stable.
