The hidden framework revolution: the comeback of RPC

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Claim: RPC is resurging across React, Next.js, Qwik and Solid, replacing REST/GraphQL for front-end ↔ back-end calls. Evidence: demos of a small users DB and a getUserById RPC that auto-generates client stubs, TypeScript-powered completion, and tRPC (2020) used with Zod; Next.js uses use server / use client and bundler-driven stub generation; Qwik supports streaming server functions. Caveats: chatty calls, network waterfalls, versioning gaps, and the illusion of runtime type safety unless Zod runtime checks are added.
