Production Agent Pattern: Request Deduplication Framework to Save Costs
blaizedsouza · x · 2026-08-13
In production environments, users and systems often send identical requests multiple times, wasting compute money and creating inconsistent results. The author proposes a Request Deduplication Framework for AI agents.
Core steps of the framework include:
- Generating a deterministic request fingerprint
- Checking for recent identical requests before execution
- Returning cached results for duplicates within a time window
- Supporting both exact and semantic deduplication
- Logging deduplicated requests and allowing forced re-execution when necessary
The core principle is: 'The cheapest agent run is the one you never start.'
