that sounds like a mismatch between the architecture and how work is getting planned no? if the backend is in the critical path to delivering the user value of a feature then the backend and frontend engineers need to be developing (and testing) the feature together
They ALWAYS need to be building and developing the feature together or this happens. Decent API design without deep understanding of Client implementation or performance needs is nearly impossible.
They generally should all be in the same team, but that often doesn’t scale.
Not having them in the same team pretty much never works well though either.
