| Потреба | useActionState підходить | Data layer підходить |
|---|---|---|
| Pending + field/server errors у формах | ✅ | ✅ |
| Простий одноразовий mutation з локальним UI апдейтом | ✅ | ✅ |
| Кешування + dedupe + background refetch | ❌ | ✅ (SWR / TanStack Query) |
| Retry / backoff політики | ❌ | ✅ |
| Інвалідація кешу між багатьма екранами | ❌ | ✅ |
| Offline черги / persistence | ❌ | ✅ |
| Optimistic UI локального масштабу | ✅ (з useOptimistic) | ✅ |
| Optimistic UI + reconciliation зі спільним кешем | ⚠️ | ✅ |
