My website is located in the DO App and besides this, I have a lot of things in the k8s cluster. I don’t wanna put my website to the k8s, cuz my experience is quite a bit, and especially when DO App provides Global CDN / CI CD / HTTPS by default, so the question is there any way to redirect my users to the website CDN when they try to reach out to domain.com and on domain.com/somethingSpecific redirect them to the k8s LoadBalancer ingress controller?
Maybe I should tell DNS to point domain.com to the k8s ingress and there somehow point “/” path to the DO CDN and specific routes point to the k8s services? I know that I can tell DNS to point subdomains, e.g. api.domain.com. to the k8s, but I wanna freely pass the cookies in the requests from the main domain.

One way you can implement this logic is directly in your DO App. I don’t know what framework you’re using, but it probably has some kind of routing functionality such that when someone visits domain.com/somethingSpecific you can either:
- Return a 302 redirect to the location in Kubernetes
- Reverse proxy to the Kubernetes backend to transparently serve data from Kubernetes through your DO App.
Would something like this work?
