This post introduces a middleware approach that allows efficient data refetching. The middleware enables the attachment of query keys and server functions, enhancing scalability and flexibility.

What if we could mutate data *and* get all the data back we need to properly update the UI in just one network round-trip?

There are a number of things that can rain on your sticky parade. Maybe it’s time to actually understand why.

TanStack Start is one of the most exciting full-stack web development frameworks I’ve seen. I’ve written about it before. In essence, TanStack Start takes TanStack Router, a superb, strongly-typed client-side JavaScript framework, and adds server-side support. This serves two purposes: it gives you a place to execute server-side code, like database access; and it enables […]

CSS has counter variables (based on matching selectors) that you can output as formatted content or use in calculations.

Postgres creates an execution plan for how to retrieve the data you’re asking for in a query. The execution plan is based in part on statistics from your data and indexes it has available. Just the right index and a bit of query tuning can have a huge payoff in performance gains that your users will notice.

This Part 1 (of a 2-part series) is a practical, hands-on, applicable approach to database indexes. We’ll cover what B Trees are with a focus on deeply understanding, and internalizing how they store data on disk, and how your database uses them to speed up queries. This will set us up nicely for part 2, […]

Zustand is a minimal, but fun and effective state management library which just may improve your render performance.

The `satisfies` keyword allows you to assert that a certain value “satisfies” a given type, while preventing a wider type from being inferred.

TanStack Start enhances the TanStack Router by adding a server layer that improves performance through server-side rendering (SSR) and isomorphic loaders.
