HTTP(S) endpoints can now be configured to share their underlying load balancer with other endpoints on the same stack, reducing the cost of the endpoint by 33% from $0.06/hr to $0.04/hr. The latest versions of the Aptible UI, CLI, and Terraform provider all support creating shared endpoints and converting dedicated endpoints to shared.

The shared endpoint experience is nearly identical to that of dedicated endpoints. As long as all of the clients using the endpoint support Server Name Identification (SNI) (which they should as SNI has been widely supported for over 10 years) and the endpoint does not need to use a wildcard domain to serve multiple domains.

Get started:

• Learn more about shared endpoints from our documentation.

• Install the latest version of the Aptible CLI.

Future changes:

• We plan to make Shared Endpoints the default setting for all new endpoints where applicable. Following this, we plan to roll out the same change to existing endpoints where applicable.
