Understanding React Server Components

React Server Components (RSC) represent a paradigm shift in how we build React applications. They allow us to move more logic to the server, reducing the amount of JavaScript sent to the client.

What Are Server Components?

Server Components are a new type of React component that render exclusively on the server. They can access backend resources directly and don't ship any JavaScript to the client.

Key Benefits

• Zero bundle size impact
• Direct access to backend resources
• Automatic code splitting
• Improved performance

When to Use Server Components

Server Components are ideal for data-fetching components, while Client Components should be used for interactive elements.
