Path-based routing with Traefik |
In a recent blog post, I mentioned that I use the traefik edge router / reverse proxy to put a custom domain in front of my IBM Cloud Code Engine apps. Today, I want to share details on how I configured path-based routing, i.e., depending on the path in the URI a different Code Engine app serves the request. The use case is to implement a microservices-based solution architecture with multiple backend services reachable over a single host name (on a custom domain).

IDUG EMEA 2022 Tech Conference: Call for presentations open
Submit your Db2 presentation now |
Do you know how to install Db2 or connect to it? Have you successfully retrieved query results, in a program written in Python, Node.js, Cobol, Go or C++? Have you provisioned Db2 on Cloud, pulled the container image with Db2 Warehouse and deployed it? If you answered yes to one of these questions, go ahead and submit a presentation, share your experience!
I expect the CfP to be open until end of April.

Simple, quick and secure cloud onboarding for workshops and hackathons
Create an external Identity Provider |
- similar privileges for everyone on the project,
- only few IAM (Identity and Access Management) roles,
- preferred simple administration (setup, running it, cleanup) over tightest security.
Additionally, such projects often are repeated with similar setup, but other participants. So, how do you onboard them efficiently and securely?
With that question in mind, I published two blog posts on the IBM side along with code on GitHub:
The articles utilize features and services like access groups and trusted profiles, external identity providers based on IBM Cloud App ID. The code is in Terraform and Python for full automation where possible. Enjoy.
