@Paridhi Agarwal - From my experience we use reverse proxy for the following use cases from the Edge UI console :

• Quickly test the connectivity to the backend.
• Expose some internal service with a basic auth for some low level use cases (SlackBots, etc.)

In computer networks, a reverse proxy is a type of proxy server that retrieves resources on behalf of a client from one or more servers. These resources are then returned to the client as if they originated from the proxy server itself.
