Does your B2B software's dashboard take an eternity to load, frustrating your corporate clients and crashing their devices?
As your platform has grown and migrated to microservices, the complexity has shifted to the user's device. To display a simple client dashboard, the web or mobile application (frontend) has to fire fifteen different requests: one for the profile, another for invoices, another for inventory... This excess of cross-calls (Over-fetching) generates brutal latency, consumes massive bandwidth, and drains mobile device batteries, causing constant complaints from your most profitable users.
The trap of Optimizing Front-End Code
The typical reaction is to demand that the web design team compress images or minify JavaScript code to try and scrape a few milliseconds. Trying to speed up a website with a lighter design when your API network is saturated with useless requests is like painting a car with a blown engine.
Our solution: Backend for Frontend (BFF) Architecture
At LANZA ESTUDIO, we restructure the way your systems communicate. We interpose an intelligent orchestration layer in the cloud (BFF or GraphQL) that acts as a single concierge for your clients, centralizing and filtering data before it travels across the internet.
- Request Grouping (API Gateway): The user's device makes a single call to our cloud BFF layer, and it is this layer that takes charge of collecting data from your multiple microservices at internal network speed.
- Precise Payload Filtering (Under-fetching): We trim the volume of information (Payload) on the server, sending to the client's browser strictly and exclusively the data fields it needs to display, not a byte more.
- Multi-Device Adaptation: We create specific APIs for mobile and desktop; the phone receives a hyper-light summarized response, while the office computer receives the full report.
- Complex Response Caching: We store the most frequent consolidated responses in the orchestration layer, drastically reducing the processing load on your main databases.
The Real Impact on your User Experience
- Extreme Loading Speed: Your corporate modules go from loading in several seconds to responding in milliseconds, offering a smooth experience that builds loyalty among your clients.
- Cloud Data Transfer Cost Reduction: By optimizing the volume of data that leaves your infrastructure for the internet, you drastically reduce your monthly bandwidth bill (Egress).
- Development Team Decoupling: Your interface programmers (Frontend) will be able to advance at maximum speed without depending on how the database is structured on the server (Backend).
