Developer Site Docs for "service-to-service-traffic-datacenters" for Mesh Gateways is a Dead End

[reskin89]

Overview of the Issue

The Invoke Services From Lambda Functions document has a link to Mesh Gateways between Datacenters under "Deploying Mesh Gateways".

The link provided leads to a page that just shows:

{}

Reproduction Steps

• Go to the Invoke Services From Lambda Functions page
• Under the heading "Deploy the mesh gateway" click Mesh Gateways between Datacenters under "Deploying Mesh Gateways"

@reskin89 : In summary, the page you're looking for is here. The root cause of the broken link seems to be because of how our versioned documentation pages currently work... I'll follow up on that.

Details

It appears that all the links on the v1.13.x version of the "invoke services from lambda functions" page (that you linked to) point to the "latest" (1.15.x) docs rather than the same version you're currently viewing (1.13.x).

The page you're looking for is: https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/docs/v1.13.x/connect/gateways/mesh-gateway/service-to-service-traffic-datacenters

If "v1.13.x/" is removed from that URL, it fails because the page was recently renamed to be "wan-datacenters" instead of just "datacenters" at the end: https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/docs/connect/gateways/mesh-gateway/service-to-service-traffic-wan-datacenters

I would expect versioned docs pages to point to other docs on the same version, rather than point to a different version (latest). I'll ask about this.

Thank you!

The plot thickens...

It seems that versioned docs pages generally behave as you'd expect: they point to docs links for the same version.

For some reason, that isn't happening on the specific page you linked to... but I don't know why yet.
