Automated failover of data traffic routes for network-based applications

Abstract:

The disclosure facilitates rerouting data traffic of applications. A failover request is received by a failover application including an application identifier of a main application, the failover application indicating at least one sub-application and a target data source. The failover application selects a configuration data set of the main application based on the application identifier, wherein the selected configuration data set defines an address mask of the target data source associated with the at least one sub-application. The failover application generates failover instructions for activating data traffic routing of the at least one sub-application to the target data source based on the address mask of the target data source. The failover application provides the generated failover instructions to a data traffic manager associated with the main application, whereby data traffic of the at least one sub-application is routed to the target data source by the data traffic manager.
