Nice article on optimising tRPC on serverless functions, thanks!<p>Some of my thoughts: This is a problem that manifests only if you use serverless. also, unfortunately the solution shown is service-specific. The code to split tRPC routers into multiple API routes is different for Next vs. Cloudflare Workers, and so on.<p>I've enjoyed engineering serverless applications over the past few years, but there are some weird challenges like this one. Other issues (I use Cloudflare Workers) is that it:
- runs your code on V8 and not NodeJS, so you don't have the Node APIs (though it tries to add compatibility).
- has CPU limit: makes it impossible to resize images or even hash passwords using bcrypt.
- Running locally has been a pain (though emulators / miniflare have been developed in recent years).<p>I would suggest most projects should avoid serverless and stick with conventional technology.
