Flex Gateway version 1.5.x or later supports API instances that expose multiple upstream services through a single consumer endpoint.

Flex Gateway manages request traffic by using different routes that can each direct traffic to multiple upstream services. Flex Gateway directs traffic to the routes by using the route order and the individual route's rules. Additionally, you can add a weighted percentage to each upstream service within a route to manage the percentage of requests sent to the upstream service.

In the following diagram, different routes manage requests to flight information databases and to a customer service application. Route one has two upstream services defined, which direct 70% of requests to a stable database and 30% of requests to a beta database.

Each API instance supports up to 10 routes and each route can support up to 10 upstream services. Configure what requests a route can receive by defining route rules and a route order. At least one router per API instance is required.

All rules are optional. If a rule does not have a value, that rule is ignored. For example, not specifying a host means that the route can service any host if the request meets the other route rules. Not defining any rule means that the route can service every request.

Different routes can support the same upstream services. If you cannot capture all requests for a particular set of upstream services in a single route rule set, you can define multiple routes with different rules for full coverage.

Route ordering is very important when a request can meet the route rules of multiple routes. You should order the routes with more complex route rules first. If you do not define a route order, routes are ordered in the order they were created.

For example, in a configuration in which route one has the `GET` method defined as a rule and route two has no route rules defined, all `GET` requests are sent to route one and all other requests are sent to route two. If the route order was reversed and route one had no route rules, Flex Gateway would direct all requests to route one before any `GET` requests could reach route two.

You can use multiple upstream services in a single route to direct requests to similar services. For example, to test the performance of a new beta upstream service without sending all traffic to the new service, you can direct half of the traffic to a stable upstream service and half to the new upstream service.
