The Semi-Unuseful Apache Implementation in Kubernetes

When you have Ingress resources, Ambassador, Nginx, Traefik, and service meshes — why would you put Apache HTTPD in a Kubernetes pod?

Because sometimes the routing logic isn’t ops’ problem. It’s a product problem.

Digression

Complex e-commerce sites serve multiple microservices under one domain. www.example.com might route like this:

  • /it/ and /it/offerte → CMS
  • /uk/ and /uk/offers → CMS
  • /it/clienti/ → customer-app
  • /uk/customers/ → customers-app
  • /secure/ → payment-app

And then there are third-party domain acquisitions that need redirects. And A/B test variants. And country-specific promotional paths that change weekly.
