Eagle Router
Intelligent Network Traffic Manager
Advanced network routing and traffic management for multi-tenant infrastructure. Dynamic routing, load balancing, service discovery, and automatic SSL certificate management for 30+ production services.
The Infrastructure Routing Problem
Managing 30+ production services across multiple environments requires intelligent routing:
- •Manual nginx configs - Every new service required manual reverse proxy setup
- •SSL certificate hell - Manually managing Let's Encrypt certs for each domain
- •No load balancing - Single instance bottlenecks during high traffic
- •Downtime during deploys - Zero-downtime deployments were complex
- •Service discovery - No automatic registration when services scaled
Result: Eagle Router automates routing, SSL, load balancing, and service discovery for entire infrastructure.
Core Features
Intelligent Load Balancing
Automatic traffic distribution across multiple backend instances. Health checks, weighted routing, and failover for high availability.
Service Discovery
Automatic service registration and discovery via DNS or Consul. No manual configuration needed when services scale.
Dynamic Routing Rules
Path-based, host-based, and header-based routing. Route traffic to different services based on URL patterns or request headers.
SSL/TLS Termination
Automatic SSL certificate management with Let's Encrypt. Handles HTTPS for all services without manual certificate configuration.
Rate Limiting & Throttling
Protect backend services from overload with configurable rate limits per IP, user, or API endpoint.
Request Metrics & Logging
Real-time metrics on request rates, latency, error rates. Prometheus integration for monitoring and alerting.
Common Use Cases
Multi-Tenant Applications
Route traffic to different tenant-specific backends based on subdomain or URL path.
tenant1.example.com → Service A, tenant2.example.com → Service BAPI Gateway
Centralized entry point for all microservices. Authentication, rate limiting, and request transformation.
api.example.com/users → User Service, api.example.com/orders → Order ServiceBlue/Green Deployments
Route percentage of traffic to new version for canary testing. Zero-downtime deployments.
90% traffic → v1.0, 10% traffic → v2.0 (canary)CDN Integration
Route static assets to CDN, dynamic requests to backend. Optimize performance and reduce backend load.
/static/* → CloudFlare CDN, /api/* → Backend APITraffic Routing Flow
Client Request
HTTPS request arrives at Eagle Router with hostname and path (e.g., api.example.com/users).
SSL Termination
Router handles SSL/TLS handshake. Automatic certificate from Let's Encrypt if needed.
Route Matching
Match hostname + path against routing rules. Support for wildcards, regex, and header-based routing.
Service Discovery
Query Consul/K8s for healthy backend instances. Get list of IPs and ports for the target service.
Load Balancing
Select backend instance using round-robin, least-connections, or weighted algorithm. Forward request.
Response & Metrics
Return response to client. Log request metrics (latency, status code, bytes) to Prometheus.
