Hi All,

I'm implementing a dynamic backend endpoint feature which will provide
users the capability to define dedicated backends for the same API.





This feature is a bit similar to what we have in API Manager where we
define endpoints with variables and resolve it during the runtime (say we
set backend endpoint as http://{uri.var.host}:{uri.var.port}/apis/weather
and resolve them using system variables, etc).

Similarly, We plan to provide a method to override the backend
endpoint uri from
the API. But this method doesn't depend on whether the URL is defined with
template structure (with {uri.var.host}, etc).

For example, If there is an API with TestAPI and version 1.0, we could
define *TestAPI-1.0.prod.**ep* , *TestAPI-1.0.sand.ep* as environment
variables, value in the TOML format or as command-line parameters and
override the existing related endpoint during the startup time. If the
properties are not provided, then we use endpoint defined in the API as the
default endpoint.

This way, a user can start the micro-gateway with the default backend
endpoint or he can override it during the startup time. This will give the
capability to call dedicated endpoints for each environment

Chamila.
