Take client API request => forward to destination app. Manage translations and protocols can perform authentication input validation load balancing service discovery/request dispatching request transformation

Monorepo or many repos

Plus +

Monorepo	Many repos
better dev and debug easy sharing of common code easy refactoring and review	clear ownership smaller code base narrow clones (code download/clone time)

Minus -

	Many repos
larger code base greater clone time	difficult dev and debug abstracts the knowledge of the platform sharing of common code how to deploy?
