Is using multiple basepaths in a proxy considered a best practice? Does it impact latency? @dino @dchiesa1 @sidd-harth

Latency is not affected by multiple basepaths - 

by which I guess you mean multiple API ProxyEndpoints?

Right.. we are using multiple proxy and target endpoints file. Wondering if it does any harm?

no harm. The Apigee product design is intended to support that.

Also, the performance of the API proxy in this case, should probably not be a primary criterion on which you base your decision.  The performance of a distributed system is going to be dominated by network hops, I/O latency, and concurrency.  The performance of Apigee doing routing across multiple endpoints, is going to have a minor impact on all of this.
