Description

New Feature

Having to deploy Ocelot every time routing changes is tedious. Ocelot allows for modifying the routes using json reload but without deployment it is not really possible to do this either. This increases the cost of managing services in general. The target of this feature is to modify\extend Ocelot in a way that once deployed, ocelot can adapt to changes in services behind the scene.

Motivation for New Feature

Traefik supports something similar and that is the real motivation behind this feature. Today we are using Traefik but a few unrelated reasons are forcing us to move away from it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Traefik implements dynamic routing for Service Fabric. Review Ocelot's configuration reload mechanism and service discovery integration. Identify key areas in the codebase (e.g., FileConfigurationController, ServiceFabricServiceDiscoveryProvider) that would need modification to support real time routing updates without redeployment.
