How to get started?
Start with the presentation tier.
Look for APIs to meet app requirements.
You will run into issues and blockers eventually.
Work around blockers with the proxy.
Watch for bloat in the presentation tier. Move technical bloat to proxy.
Watch for bloat in the proxy. Move business logic bloat behind an API.
Move non-functional requirements from individual APIs to proxy.
