Node.js www - non www redirection

Question

Is there a chance to somehow redirect www to non-www URLs in node.js? Since there is no htaccess in node web server I am curious how to do that.

Answer 1

In the world of DevOps and the increasing adoption of hosted platforms, this type of thing should never be handled by code. You should handle the redirect using infrastructure instead. Putting this code into the application means that issues cannot be mitigated by the Operations team should something fail in the apex entry. In addition, while it is fancy and shiny and hip, using the apex as your site url limits the ability of Operations to redirect the site should something go wrong and causes issues when you want to do a blue/green, A/B testing or geo-redirection (in some cases). Your code and app should be url-agnostic.
