How to Combine Multiple API Responses into One JSON Without a Backend

Zero-Maintenance Backend for Frontend (BFF) on Cloudflare Edge

Direct Answer & Architecture Summary

You do not need to spin up an Express, FastAPI, or Docker microservice just to stitch REST APIs together. RealComposer fetches multiple upstream endpoints concurrently at the edge, injects private credentials, and combines the responses into a single JSON schema with sub-10ms response times.

The Problem Solved

The Microservice Tax for Simple Aggregations

Maintaining Docker containers, Kubernetes, or Node servers just to merge 2 JSON responses introduces CI/CD overhead, server maintenance, and security patch burdens.

Critical Security & Operational Risks:
  • High cloud hosting costs for idle microservices
  • Maintaining server infrastructure for simple glue code
