Custom Router

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A routing component built or heavily customized to direct requests, navigation, or messages according to project-specific rules. Custom routers are often introduced when default framework routing cannot handle special path logic, tenancy, or dispatch behavior cleanly.

    In plain English: A router tailored to a project's own routing rules.

    Example: "The gateway used a custom router to send traffic to different backends based on tenant, region, and beta flags."
