Powerful Traffic Control

Support blue-green, canary, and migration rollouts with powerful traffic control features such as header-based routing, traffic splitting, path and attribute matching and more. Ambient mesh allows this powerful control without making any changes to your applications and without forcing traffic to hairpin through a centralized gateway.

Key Traffic Control Features

Traffic Routing

Control the traffic flow between APIs based on hostname and headers in the HTTP request. Optimized for canary and A/B testing and migrations.

Traffic Splitting

Split traffic to a service based on percentage to facilitate blue-green deployment and canary rollouts. Incrementally adjust the percentage based on metrics and feedback.

Fine-Grained Routing

Use attributes of the request such as path, method, query parameters, user identity and combine with regular expression matching to route traffic to support migration and phased rollouts.

Traffic Redirection

Avoid ‘as is’ default traffic routing. Use redirection to direct requests to specific locations, direct-action responses to short-circuit a request with a custom response, or rewrite details of the request before routing.

Traffic Mirroring

With traffic mirroring you can use live traffic for testing and get valuable an accurate sense for how code changes will be received in production.

Configuration Delegation

Delegate traffic routing capabilities directly to teams who own the services. Implement strong platform golden paths and empower teams to configure their own routing.
