We can have many different developments and GitHub pull requests at the same time, so we have to differentiate between them. If we could somehow create a different URL for each feature we want to test, we would be able to generate a fully-functioning non-blocking environment for the QA analysts.

ALB

Application Load Balance

Automatically distribute incoming traffic across multiple targets using an Application Load Balancer.

The service in question uses ECS Fargate behind a private Application Load Balancer (ALB). The engineering team placed an HTTP API Gateway before the ALB that performs the authentication.

Alice's solution works not only with Docker containers but any services that we can attach to an ALB as a target in a CloudFormation stack. For example, we can use Lambda functions, Kubernetes pods, or EC2 instances.

It's worth creating a new CloudFormation or CDK template for the feature resources. Whenever we create a new PR on GitHub, we'll provision a new CloudFormation stack that contains the containers with the new code. We can easily update the stack if we need to, for example, when we address comments on our PR.
