Backend proxy pattern

[alfsalim-1]

Is it a good pattern to create one single proxy per backend, so all calls to that backend need to be through this proxy (proxy chaining). In this case you can direct traffic on that single proxy. It will also provide a analytics view cross proxies for that specific target and having full control. What do you think ? is a good practice to do that for each target backend?

Not necessarily.

Apigee Edge analytics allows you to analyze based on "target" and you need not use a single API proxy to handle all the calls.

Unless you have some other specific need that I don't understand or that I am not imagining, you probably don't need another proxy injected between the Apigee Edge "front" proxy and your target backend or upstream.
