TanStack DB

TanStack DB is used for local-first and collection-based data flows.

Tulip uses it where screens need optimistic local collections, live query ergonomics, and server-backed synchronization patterns without making every feature local-first.

Where Tulip uses TanStack DB

• main/local documents local-first direction and implementation notes.
• @tulip-systems/query/tanstack-db exposes helpers for local query input patterns.
• app features can use collections backed by ORPC and TanStack Query.

What your app owns

• collection definitions
• sync strategy
• conflict behavior
• offline or optimistic UX decisions
• server APIs that back local collections
