Key Rotation System

In distributed systems with multiple servers (masters and slaves), the panel supports:

  • Dynamic API keys — automatic rotation with zero downtime

  • Cascading key rotation — changes automatically propagate to all connected servers

  • Unlimited hierarchy levels — masters and slaves with arbitrary nesting depth

  • Graceful rotation — old key remains active until new key is confirmed

  • Fault tolerance — exponential backoff retries
