Hey Hackernoon Readers, I’m , one of the managing partners at blockchain venture fund . -- First of all, a huge thank you to David, and entire Hackernoon community and staff for awarding me : Christian Kameir Sustany Capital five writing awards in 2021 Contributor of the Year - Money Contributor of the Year - VC NFT Wizard of 2021 Contributor of the Year - Art Contributor of the Year - Internet As someone who has focused on the decentralization of the internet since 2008, I think that the most exciting technology of the present is Web 3.0 because we can return agency to the users of the technology again, rather than allowing large companies to social-engineer users to cater to corporate objectives. Learn more about my thoughts and opinions on Web 3.0 and my journey in the tech industry via the interview below. 1. What do you do and why do you do it? As managing partners at Sustany Capital, we focus on operating a thesis-driven venture capital firm investing in Web 3.0, decentralized finance, and legal technologies. I have been a tech entrepreneur since the internet dial-up days and led the merger of two of the earliest internet service providers in Europe. In 2000 I moved to California to start a technology venture fund. I  studied classical literature and graduated from Muenster's School of Law. I am a board member at , co-chair of the Banking and Financial Services Interest Group at the , and lecture a class at . I write and speak on topics ranging from high-tech investing to decentralized finance, identity, and blockchain. Our current book project - working title ' ' - will be published in Q2/2022. Open Travel Decentralized Identity Foundation Harvard Streaming Money 2. Tell us more about the things you write about! I have been writing on ideas to “fix the web” since 2008. A core objective to me is to fix information distribution on the world wide web to do the most good. As such it is essential to foster solutions that contribute to creating consensus, and reverse the current paradigms that seek engagement for divisive content. Internet users should not be treated as NPCs - gamer-speak for non-player characters - but improve their own experiences daily by network technology that serves the interest of the individual. To me, advertising is not a suitable business model on top of a shared resource (commons). 3. How did you end up on your current career path? I started in software development in 1985, and I am as fascinated with the opportunities of network technology now, as I was back then. Realizing that I would never be a great coder, but understanding software principles well enough to explain them to others, I decided to join a startup as their general counsel. At the time - in 1997 - we were selling dial-up internet services, and we had to explain why this technology was relevant and interesting. The same is still true for the upcoming fundamental changes to the internet (Web 3.0), today. 4. What tech are you most excited or about right now and why? Returning control over bytes back to users: regardless if this refers to money or any other digitally expressed value or thought. Blockchain-based solutions are a central part of that, and many other cryptographic primitives that remove friction from our daily lives, and allow individuals around the world to engage in peer-to-peer interactions. Why this may sound corny: these are true ! freedom technologies 5. What tech are you most worried about right now and why? Blockchain-based solutions can both enable self-sovereignty or be ultimate surveillance tools for entities and governments which value individual freedoms less than the control of their subjects (see my article on ). The Folly of Digital Fiat 6. If we gave you 10 million dollars to invest in something today, what would you invest in and why? Disruptive finance solutions that replace the middleman, and Web 3.0 primitives that make centralized institutions unnecessary (read more ). here 7. What are you currently learning? We are currently writing a book on . As strict observers of the scientific methods, we started out aggregating the current financial landscape three years ago. We are learning something new about the evolving financial landscape daily. However, we are interested in a wide spectrum at the intersection of finance, technology, law, and socio-economic issues. Streaming Money 8. What’s the best advice you’ve ever given someone? Never choose unhappiness over uncertainty! 9. What’s the best advice you’ve ever received? A. The meaning of your communication is the response you get. B. There is no failure, only feedback. C. The map is not the territory.

"There is no Failure, only Feedback"  with 5x Noonies Winner Christian Kameir

Negative sentiment around Trump lifted slightly when he was diagnosed — and dropped when he returned to the White House. During the September 29th, 2020 Presidential debate held in Cleveland, OH, Donald Trump said to Joe Biden: “They give you good press, they give me bad press because that’s the way it is, unfortunately” — Donald Trump Until now, this assertion by Trump has been hard-to-impossible to prove or disprove. But a new media study released by Import.io has shown that the POTUS is correct in this assertion — to a degree. The analyzed 49,682 news stories from the web sites of 1,571 U.S.-based, English-language news organizations. This huge data set represents coverage through September 1st through October 7th that mentions Trump, Biden, or Trump and Biden. The data was measured in terms of both volume and tone. study by Import.io Here’s what they found: Trump & Biden Coverage — Not Overwhelmingly Positive Neither candidate has predominately positive coverage, but Trump’s is certainly more negative in tone. The timeline shows Biden in Blue and Trump in Red. Certain events like Trump praising SCOTUS Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Trump’s own diagnosis with COVID-19 did create a temporary lift in sentiment toward Trump — but it was short-lived. Media sentiment timeline — Trump vs. Biden TL;DR analysis — Neither candidate has greatly positive coverage but Trump’s coverage is more negative and swings more wildly around key events. Trump gets far more coverage… Since September, there have been 5x the number of stories about only Trump vs. stories about only Biden. If you factor in stories that mentioned both candidates, Trump still gets x2 the amount of coverage. Volume of coverage — Trump vs. Biden Trump may not evince great sentiment from media, but he is great at being talked about. TL;DR analysis — More facts to consider: The media sentiment towards both candidates took a negative turn immediately following the first Presidential debate.When Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19 on Oct. 2, it was the biggest day in terms of media coverage of the 2020 US Presidential election, followed by September 30th, the day after the first Presidential debate.After the announcement that Trump contracted COVID-19, coverage spiked for Trump (but not for Trump/Biden or Biden alone) and Trump’s sentiment score reached an all-time high.The elevated media sentiment score for Trump continued in the days during his hospitalization but then dropped again upon his return to the White House Conclusion As pundits on both sides marvel at the mass appeal of this highly polarizing President, these figures beg the question — is it true that It remains to be seen, and the remaining weeks running up to the campaign are likely to be full of surprises. all news is good news?

Here’s a quick(ish) tip on how to use non-recurring revenue services (training, consulting, etc.) to 2.5x (or more) the recurring revenue you get from a customer. This tip requires that you have a baseline understanding of Customer Success . Let’s say you have a customer at $10k/ARR and they’re humming along just fine. If you leave them to grow on their own, it might take 18 months before they’re ready for the next pricing tier or add-on that would take them to $25k/ARR. By knowing where the customer is on their journey, you can intelligently offer services that can short-circuit their path to the next Success Milestone that has that logical expansion opportunity attached to it, and achieve account expansion much faster than if you left them to grow organically. Let’s say they hit a at 6 months in (remember, each customer will likely hit that milestone on their own cadence), and you know that a training program would not only help their current active users get more value from your product but could increase the number of users in their company, so you offer that up for a fee, but maybe only to break even. Success Milestone And that training program would get them to that point in 3 months, meaning they’re ready to move up to the next pricing tier 9 months earlier than they would organically. In businesses with professional investors and a board of directors, a large percentage of non-recurring revenue is often frowned upon since it’s not predictable and valued lower by said investors or potential acquirers. HOLD UP! SaaS So generally in these types of companies you want the “attachment rate” of non-RR to RR to be low (whatever that means to your investors, board, etc.). If that’s you, don’t immediately dismiss what I’m saying here… in fact, keep reading. BTW, in bootstrapped or other businesses, revenue is revenue so don’t worry about attachment rates (until you go to sell, I suppose). So let’s say you have a training program that you can offer a customer to short-circuit their success, but you have to charge $2.5k just to break even on it. If the customer is paying $10k, that’s a 25% attachment rate, which is probably higher than most investors/boards want to see. BUT… after the training, the most logical next step for the customer is to buy additional seats, add-ons, etc. and they move to $25k/ARR, now that attachment rate is only 10%… now you’re cookin’ with evil gas. The moral of this story is… know where your customers are on their journey toward their Desired Outcome, proactively offer them things to help them grow, and when they take that AND grow, offer them the thing they’ve grown into. Oh, and since they expanded 9 months earlier than they would have organically, where might they be in the next 9 months? You might be able to 5x+ an account value in that first 18 months. Hmm…. …..

Crypto is so much more than an industry of digital tokens; it is a paradigm shift in how society operates. Crypto is so much more than an industry of digital tokens; it is a paradigm shift in how society operates. A transformation of industry processes and individual freedoms. A transformation of industry processes and individual freedoms. A digital dimension of trust. A digital dimension of trust. Gold 2.0;Financial nihilism;Memecoin supercycle;Displacement of government. Blossoming from nothing into a multi-trillion dollar industry anticipating continued growth in orders of magnitude, crypto is heralded as the frontier of innovation for the world’s economy, the most important and impactful technology in the history of financial markets. From transparent supply chains to digital identities to asset issuance, the superpower of a neutral, censorship-resistant, autonomous, triple-entry accounting system (with its own sustainable incentive model) promised to rehypothecate every touchpoint of society’s digital life. To transform the fabric of commerce and resolve trust/ownership/security in cyberspace. These lofty and opaque promises of decentralization to diffuse power, equalize opportunity, and disrupt institutions imbued the public with a frantic spirit of rebellion. Fueled by the emotional highs of flashy headlines, parabolic returns, and geopolitical chicanery, this spirit contorts our worldview. Rather than joining forces to solve problems, advance society, and deliver value to the world, we deviate in a PVP pursuit of shiny objects. By all means, prosper from this as much as you can! Just don't get lost in sauce. Sure, it is “cool” that a random, intrinsically worthless meme can become an instrument for society to speculate on and garner billions of dollars in market capitalization. cool It's also cool that your blockchain can process more transactions per second with the same level of security and reliability while keeping fees lower than the other. You know what's not cool? not cool Having entire industries stuck in the same place year after year and, in turn, have their economies lag in development due to the bad associations the word “Crypto” elicits. By slowing down and asking the right questions, we zoom out, far beyond prices, to understand what is going on in the world and remember the actual role of crypto/Web3 in the grand scheme of things. It's impossible to anticipate where exactly the next societal paradigm shift will come from or how it will look until it arrives. Given the multi-dimensional impact of blockchain/crypto and lessons we can draw on from the uprising of the online/internet era, Web3 seems to be inevitable. Does history actually repeat, or does it rhyme? Web 2 — Coming On-Line The internet has impacted society permanently and prosperously. It was a technology so fundamentally transformative that it can be likened to the advent of the wheel. A network of electronic devices distributed around the globe sharing information, all the time, to/from any place, 1,000x cheaper and 1,000x faster than any other method of communication. When it first arrived, the public did not know how to interpret it. the public did not know how to interpret it. What is this for, emailing? Legacy operators in media, journalism, and entertainment either ignored or discounted it. Although a few cunning risk takers did seek to embrace it (Amazon). As the reflexive exponential powers of network effects accelerated its prevalence, the Internet became a force of tremendous opportunity and uncertainty. Sensational stories of total disruption surfaced; be it for bad or good, no industry was safe from the Internet. Commerce, manufacturing, education, agriculture, finance, entertainment, and even social interaction itself was about to take on a radical new form factor. Old industries will collapse!New industries shall rise! Email really will displace physical mail!.. Turns out they were not wrong orright.They were both wrongand right. or and Fast-forward to today, we witness that Web 2 did not totally replace industries; it synthesized with society/economics and expanded the surface area of operations. It gave companies a new channel for communication, new tools for coordination, a new medium to deliver solutions through, and a new facet to increase economic value. Meetings could be compressed.Products could be sourced remotely.Brands could directly interface with their audiences.Marketers could send their messages internationally instantly. It even gave birth to radically NEW industries and business models:- PPC digital advertising- Paid promotions for News site- Affiliate systems- Paid Courses/Tutorials- Drop Shipping From the ~$7,400 price point of the Dow Jones at which the internet was launched in ~1993, the economy went into a prolonged period of parabolic expansion, landing the Dow Jones around ~$40,000 (5.4x in 33 years). (5.4x in 33 years) But this was beyond a single country. The world economy grew its GDP in tandem, ballooning by ~4.5x in ~33 years from $24 trillion to roughly ~$108 trillion. The Internet became a public good that grew the entire economic pie. Yet there is no direct investment vehicle for the internet. Just like Web 2 led to exponential growth and transformation through the online hype cycles (Internet Bubble of 2000), the same is being done with crypto and Web3. (Internet Bubble of 2000) Web 3 — Coming On-Chain Web3 builds upon the communicative capabilities of internet technology by adding an immutable, transparent data architecture, enabling digital scarcity and ownership. Just how the term internet is used to refer to an enormous range of the technology/companies/products, soon too shall the term crypto become a layman's term synonymous with all of aspects of the web3 industry. On-Chain will become the next On-Line. This is where perhaps the cognitive dissonance and identity crisis of the industry comes from; the technical and multi-cultural nature of crypto tends to have semantics escape us. As you might have already known/guessed, the word “crypto” comes from “cryptography”. An extremely dense subject matter in computer science relating to digital communication, privacy, mathematics, game theory, physics, and software/hardware development. Yet, due to its ~2 trillion dollar market capitalization, it is predominately used as a blanket term for digital money. Colloquially, that is not incorrect. But the unintended consequence of lazy articulation is that all actual innovation becomes subconsciously translated to be associated with “crypto”. Then, when something undesirable happens; such as the coins go down in value or malintentioned actors siphon out liquidity, hurt consumers, and get away with it richer, the image of the industry stains the technology. Yes, crypto is digital money/assets.It is also something much greater. It is infrastructure; a meta-industry of code dictating and recording human behaviour. meta-industry A technology-first and an economic sector-second. Blockchain is the technology.Distributed, digital database with a very particular, immutable data structure.
Crypto is the application.Tokens/coins, digitally native units of account.Web3 is the movement.Informational network of value. The adaptation of behavior.

The adaptation of behavior. Informational network of value. The adaptation of behavior. A technological paradigm for how to share information, ascribe value, and place trust, ushering in a new era of economic growth. Simultaneously, an industry of its own and an extension for existing industries. A polymer of best practices from predecessor systems and Web3 capabilities. Applying Crypto/Web3 If BTC is gold 2.0, what happens to gold 1.0? Both objects serve the same fundamental role in society: the storage/preservation of value over time. A geopolitically neutral hedge against economic uncertainty. Only one tiny (not so tiny) difference between the two; one is physical and one is digital. So that means, Bitcoin would eventually take over Gold’s market share and become the singular store of value due to its alignment of superior traits such as accountability, portability, and divisibility? No. From production and extraction cost to sentiment, value is a broad term. If for nothing else than the sake of sovereignty, wealth diversification, and jewelry, people will always want tangible, valuable objects. Gold 2.0 grows the economic pie substantially and compliments Gold 1.0 The “store of value” market segment expands in tandem. In 2000, the entire size of the “storing value” market of Gold floated around $2 trillion at approximately ~$290 per ounce. BTC did not exist. By January of 2010, the market struck ~$6 trillion at prices of ~$1,120/oz. BTC was worth maybe a thousand dollars at best. In January of 2020, it saw ~$10.0 trillion at ~$1,570 per ounce. While BTC was worth ~$732 billion (13.66x smaller). As of April 10, 2025, Gold Marketcap is ~$21.1 trillion with ~$3,140/oz, and BTC market cap is ~$1.6 trillion (13.185x smaller). $21.1 trillion $1.6 trillion Gold 2.0 extends the industry; it doesn't detract from or replace Gold 1.0 This goes far beyond gold. The development of new cryptonative protocols, digital assets, and networks directly contributes to the evolution of legacy sectors. Yes, we can launch tokens, create illustrious narratives, and speculate on them. We can also weave on-chain elements into mature, sophisticated industries and transform their processes, including things like DAOs and DEXs. Web3 in Finance Instant, immutable, superfluid, payment systems and products. Automating the accounting and maintenance of liquidity by deploying assets on-chain. Digitizing abstract financial instruments and fragmenting them for greater investor inclusivity. Web3 in Real Estate Altering asset liquidity profiles through fractionalization of ownership, enabling 24/7 market activity, and increasing accessibility to marketplaces. Leveraging a public ledger to prove ownership and a private one to store it. Web3 in Education Issuing certificates, credit attribution for scholastic breakthroughs, and collaborative efforts. Increase the reliability of your data. Reshape social experimentation with token-based incentive systems. Crowd fund endeavors. Web3 in Sports Transform the dynamics of fan-athlete relationships. Transform existing market structures from private to public by using crypto and blockchain. Give the public access to ownership of athletes’ contracts. Web3 in Media Offload servers to web3 networks and be compensated for usage. Ensure the pertinence of data by uploading to censorship-resistant chains. Web3 in IP Develop public ownership through fragmentation. Track content provenance. Enforce usage terms and automate concurrent micro-transactions for compensation. Be it authentication, ticketing, identity, supply chain, payments, launchpads, AI art, or any other area that could benefit from security, transparency, and interoperability, Web3 technology will, in some way, shape, or form, augment it. The Next Episode It’s not a matter of IF, but WHEN.It’s not a matter of OR, but AND. There is no stopping the train of human digitization. Tokenization will swallow the world's financial assets. Every object of value shall be tokenized. On-chain will become the universal standard for Data. Information that is not tithed to an immutable public database will not be reliable. The techno-anarchists’ utopia assumes a unipolar world where, “in the end,” only digital assets will exist. Very Matrix. Very Sci-fi. While I don't have a crystal ball, I am a believer in a future where the physical and the digital exist harmoniously. Regardless of how much Fartcoin you have; Your car will still need to drive you around, a Gold chain will still look nice around your neck, and you feel comfortable in the privacy of your own home. Fartcoin Look beyond the headlines.Look beyond the price charts. Crypto/blockchain/web3 is permanent. Its impact, profound.The opportunities, prolific. “Learn;And then think for yourself.” “Learn;And then think for yourself.” See you on-chain anon. Life is one tremendous supercycle.

Tokenization Will Swallow the World's Financial Assets, Whether We Like It or Not

Η Tokenization θα καταβροχθίσει τα χρηματοοικονομικά περιουσιακά στοιχεία του κόσμου, είτε μας αρέσει είτε όχι

La tokenización tragará los activos financieros del mundo, nos guste o no

トークニズムは、私たちが好きであろうと、世界の金融資産を飲み込むでしょう。

ការធ្វើតេស្ត Tokenization នឹងកាត់បន្ថយឧស្ម័នហិរញ្ញវត្ថុរបស់ពិភពលោក, ប្រសិនបើយើងចង់ឬមិនចង់

San Francisco, United States/California, April 10th, 2025/Chainwire/--Huma Finance, the first PayFi Network, announced the launch of Huma 2.0, a permissionless, compliant, and composable real-yield platform built on Solana today. This launch opens global access to Huma's stable real yield from global payment financing related to everyday commerce and trade activities. This development broadens individual access to stable, real-world yield—historically more common in institutional finance—by leveraging payment-financing mechanisms. Simultaneously, the existing permissioned service has been rebranded as Huma Institutional to continue serving institutions and accredited investors. Users can begin depositing on the new Huma 2.0 platform immediately. Huma 2.0 offers users alternative ways to participate as liquidity providers. It introduces two primary modes to cater to different user preferences: Classic Mode, designed for those seeking stable, double-digit USDC yield (updated monthly) combined with rewards called Huma Feathers; and Maxi Mode, tailored for users aiming to maximize their accumulation of Huma Feathers, earning rewards at 5x the base rate, without receiving USDC yield. Users can switch the mode of their existing positions at any time. DeFi composability is also a core feature of Huma 2.0, enabled by the $PST, short for PayFi Strategy Token. This liquid, yield-bearing LP token allows holders to integrate their Huma positions with leading protocols on Solana. At launch, users can swap $PST for USDC via Jupiter, the first of several planned integrations with top Solana DeFi platforms. Support for using $PST as collateral on Kamino and trading future rewards via RateX are expected shortly after launch. While participation does not require capital lock-up, users can opt for 3-month or 6-month terms to significantly boost their Huma Feather rewards via multipliers. Notably, during the initial launch period, these multipliers are significantly elevated as part of a limited-time promotion, offering particularly high boosts in Maxi Mode. These features offer users enhanced flexibility and choice in managing their positions. In just two years, Huma Finance's PayFi Network has rapidly achieved significant scale, processing over $3.8 billion in transactions and generating $8 million in annualized revenue. Huma supports its partners to generate yield from their PayFi operations. Unlike DeFi yields often reliant on token incentives, market speculation, or typically low rates in traditional finance, PayFi yield originates directly from fees paid by businesses using the network for payment financing and settlement liquidity. Capital is recycled rapidly—often within days—compounding fees generated from tangible economic activity. This mechanism has enabled Huma to consistently deliver stable, double-digit USDC yields, showcasing a sustainable model further validated by backing from leading investors and recognition from industry analysts like Messari regarding PayFi's potential to address a $30 trillion market. Messari Messari “Huma 2.0 isn’t just another yield product — it’s a structural shift.” Said Erbil Karaman, Co-founder of Huma Finance. “By giving payments institutions a new source of liquidity that operates 24/7 with incredible capital efficiency, we are creating a new type of yield that is composable, transparent, and grounded in real economic activity. It finally gives DeFi access to a source of returns that institutions have kept to themselves for decades — and it does so without compromising on what makes DeFi powerful.” “Huma 2.0 isn’t just another yield product — it’s a structural shift.” Said Erbil Karaman, Co-founder of Huma Finance. “By giving payments institutions a new source of liquidity that operates 24/7 with incredible capital efficiency, we are creating a new type of yield that is composable, transparent, and grounded in real economic activity. It finally gives DeFi access to a source of returns that institutions have kept to themselves for decades — and it does so without compromising on what makes DeFi powerful.” The launch of Huma 2.0 comes during significant shifts in global finance and within the DeFi landscape itself. While legacy payment infrastructures like SWIFT face challenges with speed and transparency and trillions in capital remain inefficiently allocated, the demand for modern, blockchain-based solutions is clear, evidenced by stablecoin transaction volumes recently reaching a reported $35 trillion. Huma 2.0 leverages this shift, providing efficient settlement liquidity and broadening access for individuals worldwide to earn from foundational financial activities – an opportunity previously confined mainly to institutions. Crucially, the yield generated through PayFi is designed to be less dependent on crypto market cycles. Whether markets are booming or in a downturn, economic activities like payments and trade may continue, potentially offering a more stable foundation for Huma’s yield generation. This structure may make double-digit returns more relevant during bear markets, where speculative yields often decline. As DeFi matures, there is a readiness for this type of yield – one grounded in tangible commerce rather than token speculation. PayFi serves as a foundational layer, enabling new DeFi strategies like the recent Solmate product from Splyce, which combines Huma's $PST yield with SOL liquid staking, bridging decentralized finance with productive economic use. Huma 2.0 marks a key step in building a new financial future, fundamentally expanding participation by inviting everyone into a financial revolution where access is open and fair. Early participants can benefit from various reward multipliers, including boosts for prior Huma depositors and partner communities. As the platform expands with more DeFi integrations and plans to be the first major project on Jupiter's LFG 2.0 launchpad – Huma continues to build finance that is truly accessible.

My developer friends, how are we all doing? 👋 I am certain that just like all of us, the management of microservices was a headache for you. After all, it is an unparalleled endeavor. Congratulations, you’ve accomplished the arduous task of tearing your monolith into separate services. That’s awesome! Unfortunately, we have a web of disparate API calls, authentication problems, and traffic storms. Do you relate? In these situations, API gateways are useful. You can think of them as fences around your microservices world. They manage the chaos, letting your services concentrate on their assigned jobs. In this post, I will cover the most common patterns, tools, and challenge areas, so you don’t have to spend time tackling them yourself. Let’s get right to it! What Is the Importance of API Gateways? Imagine this for a second: You have 20 microservices to deal with, each having their very own API, authentication logic and rate limits. Now, coordinating all of this with web, mobile and third-party clients? That's downright nightmare inducing, huh? An API gateway functions as the main entry point through which all requests are supposed to go. It manages: Routing: The User Service is routed for guy “/users” and Order Service for “/orders”.
Security: Auth checks are done only once for all services instead of getting verified continuously.
Traffic Control: Intercept DDoS attacks before they torch your servers.
Transformation: Take that XML response and transform it to JSON for the mobile app. Routing: The User Service is routed for guy “/users” and Order Service for “/orders”. Security: Auth checks are done only once for all services instead of getting verified continuously. Traffic Control: Intercept DDoS attacks before they torch your servers. Transformation: Take that XML response and transform it to JSON for the mobile app. But here’s what is important, not all gateways are the same. Let’s analyze the patterns that will not only preserve your wellbeing, but also the ones that will drain your time and energy. Important API Gateway Patterns: A guide for developers Important API Gateway Patterns: A guide for developers 1. Backend for Frontend (BFF): Your Frontend’s Best Buddy 1. Backend for Frontend (BFF): Your Frontend’s Best Buddy What it solves: How many times did you have to change the API because the mobile team wanted one form while the web team wanted another one? The BFF pattern builds specialized gateways for every sort of client. How It Works: Web BFF: Combines data from various services to enrich dashboard UI with multiple services.
Mobile BFF: Returns small, optimized payloads to help save bandwidth.
Third Party BFF: Restricts external partners to certain endpoints. Web BFF: Combines data from various services to enrich dashboard UI with multiple services. Mobile BFF: Returns small, optimized payloads to help save bandwidth. Third Party BFF: Restricts external partners to certain endpoints. For example, the mobile version of your e-commerce app requires productId, name and price. The web version needs reviews, stock status, and related items. Instead of making a single API to cater all, create two BFFs. # Mobile BFF route  
GET /mobile/products/{id} → Product Service (basic fields)  

# Web BFF route  
GET /web/products/{id} → Product Service + Reviews Service + Inventory Service # Mobile BFF route  
GET /mobile/products/{id} → Product Service (basic fields)  

# Web BFF route  
GET /web/products/{id} → Product Service + Reviews Service + Inventory Service BFF Shared Library - some gotchas BFF Shared Library - some gotchas Duplication: Avoid copy-pasting the logic when auth is needed on both BFFs – it’s best to employ a shared library or sidecar.
Overhead: CI/CD pipelines are required for every BFF you manage. Good luck with 5 BFFs.

AWS API Gateway: Custom API-keys can have quotas and attached plans which control their usage. Pro Tip: Fixed intervals are less preferable than sliding windows. If, for example, your limit is 4 requests to make within 60 seconds, let people make short bursts of up to 120 requests within 30 seconds, with the average during the 60 seconds being below 100. Pro Tip: Example Configuration (Kong): Example Configuration (Kong): # Limit to 10 requests/minute per user  
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/plugins   
  --data "name=rate-limiting"   
  --data "config.minute=10"   
  --data "config.policy=local" # Limit to 10 requests/minute per user

FAQ: Your Most Pressing Questions, Addressed FAQ: Your Most Pressing Questions, Addressed Q: When should I implement a Backends For Frontends (BFF) compared to one single Gateway? A: Implement BFFs if your clients web and mobile, or any external client require exceptionally different information otherwise it is best kept simple. Q: Can I deploy several API gateways? A: Absolutely! Internal services can utilize Kong while external services can use AWS API Gateway. Just be cautious of complexity. Q: What if the gateway fails? A: Gateways should be deployed in a cluster with load balancing; have circuit breakers in place, such as Hystrix, to fail softly. Q: Can I use an API gateway in place of a Service Mesh? A: Certainly not! A gateway manages traffic from north to south (from the client to the service) while a mesh handles east-west traffic (from one service to another). Final Thoughts: Your Gateway To Greatness Final Thoughts: Your Gateway To Greatness API gateways, are not some magic tool, they are something you create and control. Just like any other tool they need to be utilized to their full potential in order to see desired outcomes. Prior to Beginning Construction: Identify Your Requirements: Evaluate whether you require authentication, rate limiting, or protocol translation assistance.
