Next.js requires API routes to query databases from client components, adding an extra layer of indirection. TanStack Start offers server functions as an alternative solution—these functions can be called from client components but execute only on the server, allowing direct database access without creating separate API routes. This approach eliminates the need for intermediate API endpoints when accessing your own database from client-side code.

You dont need API routes anymore

All things Appwrite. The developers' cloud. 

Appwrite

I’m not picking sides, but didn’t Next.js introduce Server Actions back in v13?
I might be missing something—how are TanStack Start’s actions different from what Next.js currently offers?

We are at GOOFCON 1, I repeat, we are at GOOFCON 1, this is not a drill!

when you Next.js you will never MERN stack again

Sounds like yet another security risk and opportunity for malicious attempts at database hacking / mutations 😅😬

“you don’t need API routes anymore”
*looks inside*
it’s an API route
