on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Argues that RPC is resurging across React Qwik and Solid as server components / server actions / server functions, enabled by TypeScript plus modern bundlers and async await; cites TRPC (2020) and a preferred ORPC with OpenAPI support; demos a CRUD app using Zod schemas for runtime and build‑time validation, and a streaming generator that pushes updates to all clients, which successfully syncs multiple tabs; warns about chatty APIs, waterfalls, versioning and exposed HTTP endpoints.
