By using TRPC for the API we can define our API endpoints as TypeScript functions, eliminating the need for separate API documentation and ensuring type-safety across the entire stack.
Adopting tRPC would bring the following benefits:
Type-Safety: tRPC leverages TypeScript's type system to ensure that the data structures used in the front end and backend match, reducing the risk of runtime errors caused by type mismatches.
Efficient Communication: tRPC uses RPC (Remote Procedure Call) pattern, which allows for more efficient communication between the frontend and backend, reducing over-fetching and improving performance.
Better DX: tRPC provides a better developer experience with features like automatic code generation, TypeScript intellisense, and better tooling support.
