Introduction to TanStack and Its Evolution

TanStack encompasses a range of open-source tools designed by Tanner Lindsley, primarily known for TanStack Query, Router, and Table. These packages emerged from Lindsley’s experiences while building a data-heavy startup called Nozzle, where previous tools often fell short. Over the years, TanStack has gained traction in the React ecosystem, with notable applications including ChatGPT, which utilizes TanStack Query. This growth has led Lindsley to dedicate himself full-time to TanStack, indicating the success and demand for these tools in modern web development.
