That's a feature I would like to see too. Other API gateways call this differently. I've seem them call it Sequential Proxy, Chained Backend Requests, and API Composition, but all of these seems to do the same basic thing. 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" on the pipeline, 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 related entities between them. Instead of making chained requests on every frontend client, why not configure them in the gateway? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
