What are React Server Components?
React Server Components allow you to render components on the server, reducing the JavaScript sent to the client and improving performance.
Key Benefits
#1. Reduced Bundle Size
Server components don't add to your JavaScript bundle.
#2. Direct Backend Access
Access databases and APIs directly without exposing credentials.
#3. Automatic Code Splitting
Client components are automatically code-split.
When to Use Server vs Client Components
- **Server**: Data fetching, accessing backend resources, keeping sensitive data on server
- **Client**: Interactivity, state management, browser APIs
Conclusion
Server Components represent a significant shift in how we build React applications, offering better performance and developer experience.
