Intuit has a few monolithic applications that are scaled horizontally by sharding. It is common practice to use a dedicated frontend layer to route requests to a specific application shard based on request attributes. The attributes used for shard determination are non static and include tens of millions of users and thousands of services. Hence maintaining a static mapping of these attributes to shards is not feasible. For maintainability and separation of concerns, a dedicated look up service could be used to store and retrieve this shard information. Currently at Intuit, the sharded routing is performed in a central API Gateway using this lookup service. However, as we move our monolithic applications to service mesh, our next step was to decentralize the sharded routing to happen on a client’s service mesh proxy. A service mesh that utilizes a client side proxy like Envoy does not have an out of the box support for lookup based dynamic routing to the destination shards. This session discusses and demos how Intuit uses WASM to extend Envoy in a service mesh to provide decentralized routing for a sharded application.
