Zuul routing : One endpoint with multiple microservices

Question

I would like to setup zuul and the underlying microservices in a way that all services will be under the '/gateway' context.

For example:

Microservice 1 has : http://localhost:8081/api/hello

Microservice 2 has : http://localhost:8082/api/bye

I would want to be able to access the microservices via zuul as follows:

Microservice 1 : http://localhost:8080/gateway/microservice1/api/hello

Microservice 2: http://localhost:8080/gateway/microservice2/api/bye

I have tried to set this up, although it seems the requests are not getting routed correctly.

The reason I would like the front end to route all client side REST calls to server that begin with '/gateway' is that it provides simpler maintenance to the front end.

My application.yml:

zuul:
 prefix: /gateway
   routes:
     microservice1:
        path: /microservice1/**
        serviceId: microservice1
        strip-prefix: true
     microservice2:
        path: /microservice2/**
        serviceId: microservice2
        strip-prefix: true

Thank you

Try this config and let me know if this works out for you. I think you will have to define a global strip-prefix:true like below. Actually it should also work without strip prefix since by default it will strip both the prefix.

zuul:
 prefix: /gateway
 strip-prefix: true
   routes:
     microservice1:
        path: /microservice1/**
        serviceId: microservice1
        strip-prefix: true
     microservice2:
        path: /microservice2/**
        serviceId: microservice2
        strip-prefix: true
