bff capability

bff adds a Backend-for-Frontend gateway layer to your Go service, handling service aggregation and response shaping for a specific client.

When to Use

Section titled “When to Use”

Use bff when a client (mobile app, web frontend) needs data from multiple backend services in a single request. The BFF aggregates, filters, and shapes responses so the client doesn’t have to. Pair with circuit-breaker and retry for resilience against backend failures.
