tRPC Principles

End-to-end type safety for TypeScript monorepos.

When to Use

✅ Perfect fit:
├── TypeScript on both ends
├── Monorepo structure
├── Internal tools
├── Rapid development
└── Type safety critical

❌ Poor fit:
├── Non-TypeScript clients
├── Public API
├── Need REST conventions
└── Multiple language backends

Key Benefits

Why tRPC:
├── Zero schema maintenance
├── End-to-end type inference
├── IDE autocomplete across stack
├── Instant API changes reflected
└── No code generation step

Integration Patterns

Common setups:
├── Next.js + tRPC (most common)
├── Monorepo with shared types
├── Remix + tRPC
└── Any TS frontend + backend
