Elastic Beanstalk Multicontainer Docker Environments: redirect requests between 2 APIs

Question

I have a multicontainer Docker environment on Amazon Elastic Beanstalk. This env include 2 APIs container - PHP and node. The reason for that is we have all previously implemented logic and end points in php, however all new end points are made in nodejs. Now I would like to setup redirection that the existence of 2 API containers would be transparent for the client. For example when the client queries server/login it would be redirected to the php container, when server/register to the node one. Thus redirection should be determined based on endpoint. What is the best approach to implement this? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Best approach is relative.

Nginx or haproxy in front are your best bet for swapping backends based on URL rules.
