APIs grow complex as applications scale. Without type safety,
both clients and servers risk miscommunication and runtime errors.
Benefits of Type-Safe APIs
- Compile-time validation for safer deployments
- Auto-generated clients with strong typing
- Reduced runtime errors in production
Popular Approaches
- tRPC – end-to-end type safety
- GraphQL with TypeScript codegen
- OpenAPI/Swagger with generated clients
Choosing the right approach depends on team size, growth plans,
and tooling ecosystem.
"Strong types are the glue that keeps distributed systems reliable."
