I replaced TanStack Query with alova and cut my code by 70%

A frontend engineer migrated a React app from TanStack Query to alova to reduce custom request-handling code.

The article compares side-by-side implementations and says alova simplified pagination, draft-saving forms, SSE, and retry logic.

Built-in hooks and state management in alova reportedly replaced a lot of boilerplate that TanStack Query needed for common workflows.

The piece argues alova can be a practical drop-in alternative for many frontend data-fetching use cases.
