Connect back-end with front-end over rest api call running on kubernetes

I have a two tier application. The frontend calls the webapi layer through simple http rest call http://mywebapi:5000/ My working docker compose code is below and the application works




version: '3'

services:
  webfrontend:
    image: webfrontend
    build: ./nodeexpress-alibaba-ci-tutorial
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    networks:
      - my-shared-network  

  mywebapi:
    image: mywebapi
    build: ./dotnetcorewebapi-alibaba-ci-tutorial
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
    networks:
      - my-shared-network  
networks:
  my-shared-network: {}
Now I'm trying to get this to work on kubernetes. I have created two deployments and two services-loadbalancer for webfrontend and clusterip for mywebapi
But, after deploying, I find that the data from mywebapi is not reaching the frontend. I can view the frontend on the browser through the load balancer public ip.

I even tried updating the http rest call url to http://mywebapi-svc:5000/ but still does not work. In the webfrontend pod logs I find the below error
Got error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND mywebapi-svc mywebapi-svc:5000

Sincerely appreciate all help
Thanks

Hi arnab74,


Have you try something like this before?
https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/connecting-frontend-backend/

Thanks for the link. I am also facing the same issue and I want to solve it. I don't have time to find its solution online because I have a lot of assignments to do. But thanks to my friend who shared the https://www.grabmyessay.com/dissertation-editing-service website with me in which I found a lot of essay samples and the best part is, I don't have to pay anything to read those essay samples.
