I have some 100s of POST flows under in a proxy. In that list of services, some of them pointing to Target A, some Target B and So on. what is best way to handle this scenario ?
Example :
Service# 1,2,5,9 are need to look Target A.
Service# 3,9,11,12 are need to look Target B
and So on.
Thanks in Advance.
Do you need a single proxy for some reason? Without knowing more my default choice is “use two proxies.”
If it must be a single proxy, I think Route Rules are the way to go: http://docs.apigee.com/api-services/content/understanding-routes
Yes, unfortunately It has to be Single Proxy.
ok, updated answer.. Check out the section on route rules with conditional routes
you mean route rule based on path suffix ?
Hello @Kumaresan Sithambaram,
Typically, we use the approach of routing to the backends based on the route rules. And I create the route rules with same condition as that of conditional flow.
Do you see a challenge there ?
@Meghdeep Basu Thanks ! I see what you meant… I have 600+ conditional flows which I created using kind of Automation out side of proxy and incorporated into the proxy in order to create POST condition flows. As I mentioned in original question all flows are not in point to same target end-point which mean server & domain of the target endpoint is same, only path of the endpoint would vary. So, If I write route rule condition as same as conditional flow for each conditional flow, the maintenance would be more… but if no other better way, then i have to live with this. But, please let me know if any other better option.
hi @kumaresan sithambaram,
Best practice is to create separate proxies for groups of relevant targets.
Since you can’t do that, best bet is to set a variable say target-group1 to true in request preflows of all the conditional flows that are under target-group1 and the target1 to true.
Now in route rules you just need to put condition that target-group1 = “true” and whetever target you want the request to be routed is equal to true.
This way you will be able to achieve target grouping easily.
Hope that helps you!
