Efficient Batching Requests
Understand how tRPC automatically batches requests and how to leverage it for performance gains.
What is Request Batching?
Imagine your app needs to fetch several pieces of data from your backend. Without batching, each piece of data would require its own separate network request.
Request batching is a technique where multiple individual requests are combined into a single, larger request before being sent to the server. This can significantly improve performance.
The Problem: Too Many Requests
Sending many small requests can be inefficient. Each request has overhead:
- Network latency: Time delay for each round trip.
- TCP Handshakes: Setting up a connection for each request.
- Server Load: Processing many small requests individually.
These add up, making your app feel slower.
