Solving chunky APIs with Next.js, TanStack Query & BFF
Fariz Aziz dives into a fintech saga where massive, bloated API payloads and endless network calls were killing performance and resilience. By slapping on a Backend-for-Frontend layer and leaning into Next.js’s server-side rendering and API routes, his team cut payload sizes, streamlined caching strategies, and stopped hammering the network.
Key wins:
• Smarter server-to-client state with TanStack Query, slashing re-renders and preserving snappy UX
• BFF pattern that tailors data to frontend needs, even when your backend serves a dozen other clients
• Real-world demos showing the journey from basic fetches to a robust, scalable data-fetching powerhouse
