• TanStack AI - Unified AI SDK (alpha)
• TanStack Pacer - Rate limiting, debouncing (beta)
• Nitro - Universal server engine for cross-platform deployment (Bun, Node, Cloudflare Workers, Vercel)
• Bun - Runtime and package manager

Architecture Principles

1. Feature-Based Structure

src/
├── features/
│   ├── posts/
│   │   ├── components/
│   │   │   ├── PostList.tsx
│   │   │   ├── PostCard.tsx
│   │   │   └── index.ts
│   │   ├── hooks/
│   │   │   ├── usePost.ts
│   │   │   └── index.ts
│   │   ├── queries/
│   │   │   ├── postQueries.ts
│   │   │   └── index.ts
│   │   ├── api/

├── routes/

└── types/

2. Import Conventions

// Always use @/ alias
import { PostList } from '@/features/posts/components'
import { queryKeys } from '@/lib/query-keys'
import { Button } from '@/components/ui'

// Never use relative imports across features
// ❌ import { User } from '../../users/types'
// ✅ import { User } from '@/features/users/types'

3. Query Key Factory Pattern

// @/lib/query-keys.ts
export const queryKeys = {
  posts: {
    all: () => ['posts'] as const,
    lists: () => [...queryKeys.posts.all(), 'list'] as const,
    list: (filters: PostFilters) => [...queryKeys.posts.lists(), filters] as const,
    details: () => [...queryKeys.posts.all(), 'detail'] as const,
    detail: (id: string) => [...queryKeys.posts.details(), id] as const,
  },
  users: {
    all: () => ['users'] as const,
    detail: (id: string) => [...queryKeys.users.all(), id] as const,
  },
} as const
