This seems like poor cloud architecture. What I really want is at least one pizza delivered from several kitchens and assurance that drivers will use different routes.
A good upgrade from the fax API xpizza had to rely on, though.

Sometimes you want at least one pizza, reliably as possible, and you're willing to pay extra. Other times you may want a pizza as affordable as possible, even if it is delayed or the order may be cancelled on you. The open generic API should support this high-level configuration, and the provider should be auto-selected according to your needs.
I also see an opportunity for this in the ride-sharing space. Sometimes riders are looking for a cheap and possibly slow option, other times a premium is expected for a fast trip. In my dreams I could use an open app that understands these tradeoffs, and automatically requests a driver from Uber, Lyft, or any other Taxi provider who offers safe/fast/affordable drivers in a given area.
Plus, the ability to add a sidecar container of garlic bread and dips would be nice.
And the rolling deploys are a nice addition.
