Client SDK or REST API + ReactQuery?

[Nathan MacDonald]

Hi!

I'm new to this group and just wanted to first say hi to everyone :) love that this group exists.

I'm looking at different cloud solutions for a blog post + online shop web application and Firestore is my latest endeavour. Gonna try the client SDK for resource management first, but was wondering what people's experience was with the REST API and if they have ever paired it with tanstack/react-query? I've heard the SDK offers caching benefits but so does react-query. In addition, having URLs to work with instead of functions would make MSW a nice option for testing, which I'd love if possible.

Interested to hear peoples thoughts :) take care!

Nathan
