tRPC lets you build APIs where the TypeScript types flow from server to client automatically — no OpenAPI spec, no code generation, no runtime type checking. Define a procedure on the server, call it from the client with full autocomplete and type safety. Perfect for TypeScript monorepos where both frontend and backend are in the same project.
