With Traffic Policy, you can use CEL interpolation to dynamically forward requests to different internal endpoints based on URL request attributes, including but not limited to:
  • URL
  • hostname
  • path
  • headers
This allows you to manage complex traffic topologies without manually creating and managing each forward-internal action. This page contains examples of rules that route requests based on different request attributes. See the forward-internal Traffic Policy action docs for more information.

Based on URL

This rule forwards requests from https://*.example.com to https://<SUBDOMAIN>.internal.
on_http_request:
- name: Route requests based on URL
  actions:
  - type: forward-internal
    config:
      url: https://${req.host.split(".example.com")[0]}.internal

Based on headers

This rule forwards requests containing a X-Customer-Value: {CUSTOMER} header to https://{CUSTOMER}.internal.
on_http_request:
  actions:
  - type: forward-internal
    config:
      url: https://${getReqHeader('X-Customer-Value')[0]}.internal
