Routing Operator Resources

High Availability

The TCP Router and Routing API are stateless and horizontally scalable. The TCP Routers must be fronted by a load balancer for high-availability. The Routing API depends on a database, that can be clustered for high-availability. For high availability, deploy multiple instances of each job, distributed across regions of your infrastructure.

Routing API

For details refer to Routing API.

Metrics

For documentation on metrics available for streaming from Routing components through the Loggregator Firehose, visit the CloudFoundry Documentation. You can use the NOAA Firehose sample app to quickly consume metrics from the Firehose.

Routing App Developer Resources

Session Affinity

For more information on how Routing release accomplishes session affinity, i.e. sticky sessions, refer to the Session Affinity document.
