    The :path_prefix option lets you add additional parameters that will be prefixed to the recognized paths. For example, suppose each photo in your application belongs to a particular photographer. In that case, you might declare this route:

    map.resources :photos, :path_prefix => '/photographers/:photographer_id'

    Routes recognized by this entry would include:

    /photographers/1/photos/2
/photographers/1/photos

    So yours samples

    first one 

    /-/api_developers/
/-/api_developers/1
/-/api_developers/1/edit

    etc

    second one

    /-/metrics/:action/:id
/-/labs/:action/:id

    since there is no requirements on :action and :id they can be any string like 

    /-/metrics/first_string/second_string
