Details

While developing the 'Find Nearby Stores' service, Kakao Pay applied the BFF (Backend For Frontend) pattern to efficiently deliver data in an MSA environment.

BFF serves the role of providing data optimized for the frontend. By pre-processing data on the server before delivering it, the frontend can focus solely on UI logic, which improves maintainability and encapsulation.

Additionally, BFF acts as an API Aggregator that gathers data from multiple microservices. This reduces network latency in mobile environments and minimizes repetitive authentication processes, maximizing communication efficiency.

To build an asynchronous API server, WebFlux and Coroutines were introduced. This enabled calling multiple APIs in a non-blocking manner, optimizing data collection performance.
