Documentation / Architecture Flow

Behind the Build

How I Built nestating.

Every project is a series of choices. Here is a heatmap of the critical paths I took, the hurdles I cleared, and what I’d do differently today.

Core Path 1

Building a simple, solid API

I needed a way for different parts of the system to talk to each other without getting tangled up.

The Logic

I went with REST because it’s a reliable, industry-standard way to keep things predictable.

The Upside

The API is easy to document and integrates perfectly with almost any tool.

The Struggle

Sometimes it sends a bit more data than needed, but I prioritized simplicity and consistency over micro-optimizing every bytes.

If I did it again

“I’d likely use tRPC now for contract safety between frontend and backend automatically.”

GraphQL

tRPC

Serverless single-purpose endpoints

Other forks in the road

The takeaway:How... to send it.
