Solving Interface Challenges With the BFF Pattern

Modern software applications often need to support multiple frontend UI like Web, Android, IOS, TV, and VR, each with unique requirements. Traditionally, developers have dependent on a single backend to serve all clients. However, the complexity of serving different frontends needs using a monolithic backend can result in performance bottlenecks, complicated APIs, and unnecessary data interactions. The Backend for Frontend (BFF) architecture helps answer these challenges by creating a dedicated back-end service for each frontend type. Each BFF is dedicated to a specific UI kind, improving performance, UX, and overall system stability and maintainability.
