- Delete Gateway module, associated Spring Boot application, and related configuration (`GatewayApplication.java`, `application.yml`, and `pom.xml`).
- Remove Gateway references in `docker-compose.yml`, `.gitlab-ci.yml`, and `backend/pom.xml`.
- Update backend services to directly handle requests under `/api` prefix (e.g., `/api/customers`, `/api/contact`).
- Adjust frontend contact route to connect directly to the server, replacing gateway references with server URLs.
- Add `onCustomerCreated` callback to refresh customer list after creation.
- Integrate `showInfoToast` and `showSuccessToast` for validation and creation feedback.
- Prevent closing modal on backdrop click; add explicit cancel button.
- Refactor `addCustomer` to use `callApi` and centralized routes.
- Simplify customer fetching logic in `CustomersPage` with reusable function.
