I have Spring Boot application. It has endpoint

/api/check

So I can call it locally via

localhost:8080/api/check

I'd like to deploy it to Kubernetes. And there will be more services. So I need to define routing to this applications. For instance

my.app/service1/api/check
my.app/service2/api/check
my.app/service2/api/ping

By default such routing will not work. An example is Unable to access Spring Boot microservice exposed via nginx ingress controller on Kubernetes cluster running on AWS

But question is: Should I use rewriting or I should modify my app to handle mapping with prefix like this

localhost:8080/service1/api/check

What are pros and cons for both solutions?
