I've not tried very hard but I'm not sure I get it.

I've got an API already running. What does this buy me?

Caching? I can see some benefit there it's read heavy.

Auth and access control? Feels like that's part of my app code but maybe there's a benefit I'm missing

A lot of the other benefits also feel like it would be hard to cleanly separate them from my app code.

What's the elevator pitch and who's the target market?
