I've refactored the ensemble implementation as an independent OpenAI-compatible API server as requested. Changes made in commit 9acd73b:
The ensemble service can now be used standalone or integrated with semantic router, and can scale independently. |

Ensemble Service - Independent OpenAI-Compatible API Server ✅
This PR implements ensemble orchestration as an independent OpenAI-compatible API server, addressing the architectural requirement that extproc doesn't support multiple downstream endpoints.
Architecture
The ensemble service runs as a standalone HTTP server alongside the semantic router, providing clean separation of concerns and independent scalability.
Implementation
Independent Service (
pkg/ensembleserver/)server.go- Standalone HTTP server:/v1/chat/completionsendpoint/healthensemble.enabled: trueEnsemble Package (
pkg/ensemble/)factory.go- Orchestration engine:GetDefaultStrategy(),GetDefaultMinResponses()factory_test.go- Comprehensive test suite (100% coverage)ExtProc Changes
Removed all ensemble integration:
req_filter_ensemble.go- Deletedrouter.go- Reverted (no EnsembleFactory)processor_req_header.go- Reverted (no ensemble parsing)processor_req_body.go- Reverted (no ensemble execution)processor_res_header.go- Reverted (no ensemble metadata)ExtProc remains focused on single-endpoint routing.
