React made components pure functions: UI = f(state) TanStack DB brings the same philosophy to data: view = query(collections) You describe what data you need. DB handles fetching, caching, and updating—even across massive datasets.

This query: useLiveQuery(q => q.from({ todos }) .where(eq(status, 'active')) ) Automatically becomes: GET /api/todos?status=active No backend changes needed. Your queries become the API.

0.5 adds 3 sync modes for different use cases: - Eager: Load everything upfront (<10k rows) - On-demand: Load only what queries need (>50k rows, search) - Progressive: Load subset now, sync full dataset in background (collaborative apps)
