URL Based Routing when wildcard in the middle of the URL
I am trying to do URL based routing for my APIs but I am not able to achieve as my API endpoints contain a wildcard in the middle of the URL, like: /prodapi/v1.0/{appId}/level /prodapi/v1.0/{appId...
There are several Azure services that can be used to achieve URL-based routing with a wildcard in the middle of the URL. Here are some possible solutions:
Azure Traffic Manager: Azure Traffic Manager is a DNS-based traffic load balancer that can be used to route incoming requests to different endpoints based on routing rules. With Traffic Manager, you can create a routing rule based on the {appId} wildcard in the middle of the URL. Traffic Manager can route traffic to any endpoint that is capable of responding to DNS queries.
Azure API Management: Azure API Management is a fully managed service that enables you to create, publish, and manage APIs. With API Management, you can create a URL-based routing rule that includes the {appId} wildcard. You can use policies in API Management to transform the URL before it is passed to the backend API.
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS): If you are using a containerized approach for your APIs, you can deploy them to AKS and use Kubernetes Ingress to handle URL-based routing. With Ingress, you can define routing rules based on the {appId} wildcard and route traffic to different services based on those rules.
Azure Functions: Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that allows you to run code in response to events or triggers. With Functions, you can create a HTTP-triggered function that handles requests for your API. You can use the {appId} wildcard in the URL and use code in your function to route traffic to the appropriate backend service.
Azure Logic Apps: Azure Logic Apps is a cloud-based service that allows you to create workflows and integrations with other services. With Logic Apps, you can create a workflow that handles requests for your API. You can use the {appId} wildcard in the URL and use code in your workflow to route traffic to the appropriate backend service.
These are just a few examples of Azure services that can be used to achieve URL-based routing with a wildcard in the middle of the URL. The best solution for your specific use case will depend on your specific requirements and constraints.
