How to make an app only accessible by another app in App Platform?

Posted on January 22, 2022

I’ve deployed a Meilisearch app from Docker Hub as web service with basic plan and my Laravel web app from my GitHub repo with pro plan. The web app is connected with the Meilisearch app. The thing is that my Meilisearch app is accessible from anywhere in the world so how can I make sure that only the web app can access this?

It sounds like Meilisearch should be an internal service. This way it will be accessible to components from within your App but not to the outside world. Here’s a link to our Internal Service docs.

Hope this helps!
