This service exposes an endpoint, say /mobile-data, which internally communicates with some microservices. The service may utilize HTTP requests or asynchronous messaging to fetch product availability from an inventory microservice, customer details from a customer microservice, and order information from an order processing microservice. The aggregation logic then combines these data sets, perhaps using JSON payloads, into a cohesive API response for the mobile client. | |

That's basically what I was after.. | |

| Feb 20, 2023 at 14:44 | comment | added | Maxim Zabolotskikh | Do you know if it's possible to map a single request in YARP to several target paths and aggregate the responses? Like with some transformations? I cannot really find an extension point there. What works is putting an aggregation service behind YARP, but than that service will have to call microservices by itself, and many benefits of YARP, like load balancing, are lost. | |
