ts-rest doesn't see a lot of support these days. It's lack of adoption of modern tanstack query integration patterns finally drove us look for alternatives.

Luckily, oRPC had progressed enough to be viable now. I cannot recommend it over ts-rest enough. It's essentially tRPC but with support for ts-rest style contracts that enable standard OpenAPI REST endpoints.

First time hearing about oRPC, never heard of or used ts-rest and I'm a big fan of tRPC. Is the switch worth the time and energy?

If you're happy with tRPC and don't need proper REST functionality it might not be worth it.

However, if you want to lean that direction where it is a helpful addition they recently added some tRPC integrations that actually let you add oRPC alongside an existing tRPC setup so you can do so or support a longer term migration.
