Overview

Setting up a tRPC API server and client using Next.js and Prisma is an efficient way to streamline your development process. This combo leverages modern tools like PostgreSQL, React Query, and Docker to create robust applications that are both scalable and easy to manage. With the popularity of TypeScript in full-stack developments, this stack provides a strong foundation for building responsive web applications.

The articles available guide developers step-by-step through creating a full-stack application, the necessary setup for securing an API with authentication, and how to manage user sessions efficiently. Whether you are building a simple app or a complex project, the methods outlined offer a clear pathway to a functional and secure platform.
