CONCURRENT OPTIMISTIC UPDATES IN REACT QUERY

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Concurrent optimistic updates in React Query are tough, especially when complex logic or multiple mutations are involved. Optimistic updates can be improved by using query cancellation to prevent inconsistencies from delayed queries. A strategy to prevent over-invalidation after a mutation is by checking if related mutations are already in progress before invalidating, thus avoiding UI flickering.
