Decision: standardizing on TanStack Query over SWR

Marco Silva · Eng Manager·updated 2mo ago·Open in Slack

Marco Silva [Feb 28, 1:00 PM] We've been mixing SWR and TanStack Query across the dashboard codebase. Time to standardize. Voting in the thread by EOD.

Jenny Liu [Feb 28, 1:14 PM] TanStack Query, strongly. Better invalidation semantics, our backend caching story already assumes optimistic updates.

Aisha Rahman [Feb 28, 1:38 PM] +1 TanStack. Plus our query keys map cleanly to our REST endpoint structure.

Marco Silva [Feb 28, 4:11 PM] Decision: TanStack Query is the standard. Migration plan:

  • New code uses TanStack Query.
  • SWR-based code stays until next refactor of that surface.
  • No mixing within a single feature. Doc updated in Eng Wiki "Frontend Standards".
