Policy based service routing

Abstract:

A microservice architecture includes service instances collectively configured to cooperate with one another to provide a service, and a service router associated with the service instances and configured to receive a service request from a computing device. The service request includes a service request address. The service router includes a routing policy database with routing policies, with each routing policy including a routing policy address and a routing action. The service router queries the routing policy database with the service request address to find a routing policy having a routing policy address matching the service request address, and executes the routing action specified by the matched routing policy to complete routing of the service.
