Unified interface to services
We have the following applications:
- One app exposing a REST endpoint to fetch
cats:- It is exposed at port 3001
- It contains 1 endpoint: http://localhost:3001/cats
- Another app exposing a gRPC endpoint to fetch a
dog:- It is exposed at port 3000
We want to get be able to fetch the information of both cats and dog
from REST endpoints.
docker-compose up
# Calling this url will call the cat service
curl -L http://localhost/cats
# Calling this url will call the dog service
curl -L http://localhost/dogs/snoopy
# The client does not need to know every service domain names
# and he is only using one "protocol"
