tRPC: Better than REST GraphQL?
summary
Claim: tRPC gives end to end TypeScript types without schemas or code generation and it actually proves it. Demo uses Next.js and React Query integration, shows refactor from postId to id with immediate compiler errors, demonstrates HTTP batch link combining three HTTP calls into one, and shows optimistic updates and backend-to-frontend autocompletion. Intended for single teams and internal BFF-style APIs, works in web and React Native, and repository links and a demo repo are provided.
