Node.js serve as microservice service

I want to access my node.js server as service in microservice infrastructure. This means that if locally I can access node server services /root-path-to-service. But after deploying to infrastructure in AWS it is accessed as /microservice-path/root-path-to-service and app.use('/root-path-to-service', ...) does not work anymore. How can I configure to work in both cases?

Solution

  • Provide the path as an environment variable. Then read it from there in Node using:

    process.env.ENV_VARIABLE_NAME

    This is standard microservice practice.
