Comprehensive evaluation of oRPC as potential replacement for @ts-rest: - Catalog of current @ts-rest usage (shared, backend, frontend packages) - Feature comparison between @ts-rest and oRPC - Proof-of-concept feasibility assessment - Risk evaluation for migration - Strategic recommendation: Stay with @ts-rest Key findings: - @ts-rest is actively maintained (v3.52.1 released March 2025) - oRPC lacks dedicated Fastify adapter (critical blocker) - Migration would require 4-7 weeks for marginal benefit - Current implementation is stable and well-tested Closes #349 https://claude.ai/code/session_01G3hs92h8EGmhEzXBP8kzwn
Updated evaluation with correct @ts-rest activity data: - Last commit: June 2, 2025 (~8 months ago) - Issue #349 concern is VALID Revised recommendation: - Stay with @ts-rest SHORT-TERM (Fastify adapter blocker) - Prepare for migration (monitor oRPC, consider tRPC backup) - Build PoC when oRPC releases Fastify adapter Key findings unchanged: - oRPC lacks Fastify adapter (critical blocker) - Migration effort: 4-7 weeks - tRPC as backup option (has Fastify adapter) https://claude.ai/code/session_01G3hs92h8EGmhEzXBP8kzwn
Comprehensive evaluation of tRPC as migration target for issue #349: Key findings: - tRPC is actively maintained (last commit: today!) - Has official Fastify adapter (critical requirement met) - OpenAPI support via trpc-openapi plugin - Vue 3 integration via community packages - Zod compatibility (same validation library) Recommendation: MIGRATE TO tRPC - Estimated effort: 4-6 weeks - Long-term viability: Excellent - Risk level: Acceptable Comparison: - @ts-rest: Inactive 8 months, abandon - tRPC: Active, recommended migration target - oRPC: No Fastify adapter, blocked https://claude.ai/code/session_01G3hs92h8EGmhEzXBP8kzwn
