Solving Real-World Data Fetching Challenges with Next.js and TanStack Query

Fariz Aziz walks us through the trials of wrangling bloated, backend-unfriendly APIs in a fintech environment. He shows how adopting a Backend-for-Frontend pattern with Next.js (SSR + API routing) slashed payload sizes and supercharged caching, while TanStack Query handled state management and cut down on awkward re-renders.

Packed with real-world demos, this talk arms you with hands-on tactics to boost performance, resilience, and scalability—proving you can deliver smooth, lean user experiences even when your API wasn’t built with the frontend in mind.
