Had a good experience with RTK Query, lives under redux toolkit but does much more than just reducing the boilerplate for redux which I don't think many people have noticed

I migrated a project to it from react query last year as we liked the react query style hooks and some of its behaviour, but found our usage of react query was getting a bit messy when we started adding dozens and dozens of more endpoints in a large app. Lots of things felt spread out and duplicated, we wanted to centralise things a bit (and simplify the typing) without adding a ton of custom hooks or abstractions

With RTK Query we got to move all the endpoint definitions, cache invalidation behaviour (we had many endpoints that used parameters from many other endpoint responses) and TS definitions to a single place. Also it uses redux underneath so we got the redux tools as well

I'd still use either projects again in the future, just depends on the project

RTK Query felt really good when dealing with a ton of microservices, but maybe overkill if you don't have a ton of endpoints where responses feed into other request parameters
