Caching, payloads, and other front-end dark arts with Faris Aziz

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.
