Create client that is used in every request, without re-creating client

Hi all, Consider the following

export const createContextInner = async ({
  req,
  res,
}: {
  req?: Context['req']
  res?: Context['res']
}): Promise<Context> => {
  const app = await NestFactory.createApplicationContext(AppModule)
  return {
    app,
    prisma,
    req,
    res,
    supabaseServerClient: null,
    user: null,
  }
}

export const createContextInner = async ({
  req,
  res,
}: {
  req?: Context['req']
  res?: Context['res']
}): Promise<Context> => {
  const app = await NestFactory.createApplicationContext(AppModule)
  return {
    app,
    prisma,
    req,
    res,
    supabaseServerClient: null,
    user: null,
  }
}

This is annoying in local development because it needs to create the nest app for every request. The same thing with the prisma client. We'd like to create this once and use in every request. Is this possible?

Move it outside of the context creator?

To where though? It'd be ideal here

export const t = initTRPC.context<Context>().create({
  transformer: superjson,
  errorFormatter({ shape }) {
    return shape
  },
})

export const t = initTRPC.context<Context>().create({
  transformer: superjson,
  errorFormatter({ shape }) {
    return shape
  },
})

The global context
