How the Dockyard Gateway Routes Traffic — TLS, DNS, and the Proxy Mesh

A deep dive into the gateway architecture that powers the Dockyard routing layer. The gateway terminates TLS, manages custom domains, and proxies requests to containers, buckets, and Lambda functions — all without manual configuration.

When you create a route, the gateway provisions a TLS certificate via ACME, creates DNS records in Route 53, and configures the proxy mesh. Method and path filters let you build multi-endpoint routes under a single name.
