@DMehaffy thanks for the reply!
What about removing Admin UI with all its glory?
I don’t want the dashboard UI to show up if someone hits my API server endpoint with GET /dahsboard request. Not to mention this will reduce the size of the package a tiny little bit.
I could set my ALB to block path if it includes /dashboard but this is more of a hack while disabling this on the strapi side sounds more like a proper approach.
