To try out the edge server, we perform the following steps:

1. First, build the Docker images with the following commands:

cd $BOOK_HOME/Chapter10
./gradlew build && docker-compose build

2. Next, start the system landscape in Docker and run the usual tests with the following command:

./test-em-all.bash start

Expect output similar to what we have seen in previous chapters:

With the system landscape including the edge server, let's explore the following topics:

• Examine what is exposed by the edge server outside of the system landscape running in the Docker engine. 
• Try out some of the most frequently used routing rules as follows:
  • Use URL-based routing to call our APIs through the edge server.
