"Hey fellow devs, I was messing around with some APIs and had to implement HTTP Gateways to bypass server-side CORS. Now I'm wondering, are we compromising security by doing this? Should we be exploring other alternatives like proxy servers or is there a safer way to do this?"

"Dang, CORS and HTTP Gateways can get messy. If you're using an HTTP Gateway to bypass CORS, make sure it's properly configured and only exposing necessary endpoints to avoid potential security risks. Anyone have experience with this?"

Thoughts on strategies?
"Hey guys, I've had experience with this in the past. Using an HTTP gateway to bypass CORS can be a quick fix, but it's not the most secure approach, as it allows for potential data leaks. You'd be better off implementing CORS headers directly on your server."
