Solving Real-World Data Fetching Challenges with Next.js and TanStack Query
Fariz Aziz dives into the pain points of frontend teams wrestling with bulky, inefficient APIs—think endless network calls, poor caching, and payloads bloated with useless data. Using a fintech case study, he shows how these roadblocks kill performance and resilience when your backend wasn’t built just for you.
He then walks through a pragmatic fix: introduce a Backend-for-Frontend layer, lean on Next.js for server-side rendering and custom API routes, and supercharge your client state with TanStack Query. The result? Slimmer payloads, smarter caching, fewer re-renders, and a more scalable, robust frontend that plays nice with any API.
