I think that is a feature I would like to see too. Other API gateways call it Sequential Proxy or chained backend requests, or API composition. It's not the same as batch requests, because sometimes I need the response from an "upstream backend" to be included in the request of the next "upstream backend", and I think batch requests only support making concurrent requests that are independent from each other. The motivation for this feature is simply for the frontend convenience, that's why it may also be called Backend for Frontend (I guess that's why, not 100% sure). Specially useful for mobile clients, and web apps that need to access micro-apis that separates entities between them. Instead of making chained requests on every client, why not configure them in the gateway? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
