DESCRIPTION:The **Backend-for-Frontend (BFF)** pattern is often introduced 
 as a way to simplify systems\, offering cleaner APIs\, faster frontend dev
 elopment\, and improved separation of concerns. On the surface\, it works 
 well. But in real-world systems\, BFFs rarely remain simple for long. \n\n
 Over time\, they begin to absorb business logic\, replicate backend comple
 xity\, and grow increasingly dependent on multiple downstream services. Wh
 at starts as a lightweight orchestration layer gradually shifts into a cri
 tical dependency that is harder to evolve than it was meant to be.\n\nIn t
 his talk\, we’ll examine how BFFs unintentionally evolve into “mini-mo
 noliths” through a series of small\, pragmatic decisions\, handling edge
  cases\, bridging backend gaps\, and centralizing logic for convenience. D
 rawing from real-world scenarios\, we’ll explore the subtle tipping poin
 ts where architectural boundaries begin to blur\, and why these issues oft
 en remain invisible until they start impacting scalability\, maintainabili
 ty\, and team velocity.
