TL;DR: It sounds like they wanted their UI teams to be able to easily deploy UI specific API endpoints, and existing offerings had too much latency. I’ve often built UI-specific API endpoints, but have often been told such endpoints are a bad practice. In reality, I think they’re great. It allows you to serve up optimal payloads and move much more quickly than writing the equivalent general APIs. That said, wasn’t Falcor the Netflix solution to this very problem?
