 This container acts in a similar way to the API Gateway on AWS. Requests can be made to this endpoint with a JSON body.
 
+**Incoming requests and routing**
+
+There are three options for routing:
+
+* Routing is enabled through a `X-Function` header which matches a service name (function) directly.
+* Routing automatically detects Alexa SDK requests and forwards to a service name (function) that matches the Intent name
+* [todo] individual routes can be set up mapping to a specific service name (function).
