Why I Switched from REST to tRPC for Full-Stack TypeScript
Type safety across the stack is a game changer. After years of using REST with manual type definitions, I decided to try tRPC on a new project.
The result? No more duplicated types, no more API contract drift, and a much smoother developer experience. In this article, I share:
- How tRPC works under the hood
- Migrating an existing Express API
- Pros and cons compared to GraphQL and REST
- When you should (and shouldn't) use it
Exploring the benefits of end-to-end type safety with tRPC compared to traditional REST APIs.
