Path based routing

Feature Requests
1

I will first admit I have no idea if this is even possible, other than reading through:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/application/tutorial-load-balancer-routing.html

I would like to be able to have two services with the same domain, except have one of the services require a set of specific path rules. If none of the path rules are met then route the traffic to the other service.

Examples:

ā€“ admin services at domain.com/admin instead of admin.domain.com
ā€“ api services at domain.com/api instead of api.domain.com

I would personally benefit from the ability to drop down a level and define ALB rules directly, which could then also be used for path based routing.

My use case, specifically, is routing requests to single-tenant applications, based on the contents of the Authorization header.

An api gateway, of sorts, without making another trip through the load balancer.

Maybe something along these lines:

services:
  one_live:
    build: .
    domain: api.example.com
    routing_rules:
      - type: Http header
        header: Authorization
        is: [Bearer one_live_*]
    environment:
      DATABASE_NAME: one_live

  one_test:
    build: .
    domain: api.example.com
    routing_rules:
      - type: Http header
        header: Authorization
        is: [Bearer one_test_*]
    environment:
      DATABASE_NAME: one_test

  two_live:
    build: .
    domain: api.example.com
    routing_rules:
      - type: Http header
        header: Authorization
        is: [Bearer two_live_*]
    environment:
      DATABASE_NAME: two_live

  two_test:
    build: .
    domain: api.example.com
    routing_rules:
      - type: Http header
        header: Authorization
        is: [Bearer two_test_*]
    environment:
      DATABASE_NAME: two_test

Right now Iā€™m on the fence between manually adding these rules to the ALB, or exposing an nginx reverse proxy that will route to internal services.

Either way, convox greatly simplifies my life, and I thank you for that!
