Hello
Just wondering if there’s any way to address a specific replica for a service? My use case is that I’d like to perform my own sort of load balancing and would like to tell an end user which replica they should connect to.
Kind regards
Triston

You can create replicas in your service settings

individual replica addresses are exposed via a AAAA DNS lookup, example -
So with this list you can implement your own load balancer logic, or use caddy to handle this for you, example -

is round robin not desirable?
so new visitors will go to an "inactive" state and then it's flagged "active"
then after some coding logic, it is set back to "inactive" and ready for use

no worries at all, sorry for all the questions but the answers help me to deliver a better response 🙂
@Brody okay I know that railway uses round-robin by default but I wanna use my custom system for load-balancing on replicas.
Is there is any blog or doc for this?
