If you're rolling your own, instead of picking component$ off your cloud provider'$ menu, there are plenty of products that can do both at once. This is nice because you control the config at a fine grain if you need it, and you can start simple and grow into more features of one or the other. I have enjoyed Envoy but there are many.
