Caching, payloads, and other front-end dark arts with Faris Aziz (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Faris Aziz joins PodRocket to unpack the front-end "dark arts" behind building resilient dashboards under API rate limits and bloated payloads. He walks through front-end caching strategies, why a backend for frontend pattern using Next.js API routes as a proxy solved a 13-second load time, and how TanStack Query resilience patterns hold up differently at fintech scale versus Smallpdf's tens of millions of users. They also dig into defining a retryable error to avoid runaway infrastructure costs
Async React with Vercel's Aurora Scharff (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Aurora Sharf joins PodRocket once again to discuss Async React, the pattern behind React 19's transitions, useOptimistic, and Suspense. She explains why "in-between states" are a UX problem, not just a DX one, how Next.js's cache components and App Router fix years of caching confusion, and why perceived performance (INP) matters as much as cumulative layout shift. Plus: the action props pattern, Meta's new Astrix library, and what's still missing before Async React goes mainstream. Links Websit
