TLDR

You can think of a BFF as a an API specifically tailored to a certain user experience. It acts as an aggregation layer
which sits in front of many microservices and is consumed by a specific client with varying needs, such as an iOS app, 
Android app and traditional web app. Each of these different user experiences may have different BFF APIs.
