React Server Components: A New Way to Build Fast and Interactive Web Apps
summary
React Server Components render on the server and stream serialized UI into the browser using React 18 streaming, reducing client JS and keeping sensitive logic server-side; demo is a Next.js app using the app router, Prisma talking to an Azure database, deployed on Vercel, and implements server actions for form submissions and mutations with revalidatePath. The joke app shows partial hydration, Suspense streaming, optimistic updates, and good Lighthouse scores, while real-world tradeoffs include framework lock‑in, trickier debugging and testing, and extra onboarding complexity.
