Devoxx: Solving Real-World Data Fetching Challenges with Next.js and TanStack Query: A Pragmatic Case Study

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

Fariz Aziz walks us through a fintech case study where frontend teams wrestled with massive, bloated API payloads and sluggish UX. He highlights common pain points—too many network calls, weak caching, resilience gaps—and shows how a Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) pattern paired with Next.js can slim down payloads, boost performance, and keep things resilient.

You’ll see how TanStack Query becomes your best friend for managing server-to-client state, cutting unnecessary re-renders, and scaling gracefully. With real code demos, this talk turns abstract best practices into actionable steps to help you build faster, more robust frontends—even when APIs aren’t playing nice.
