React Server Components - Under the Hood
summary
A live dive into the implementation shows server, client and hybrid components serialized on an Express endpoint and streamed via the react-server-dom-webpack pipeline; webpack provides module chunks, JSON model chunks and error chunks, and the client lazy loads chunks and replaces @f5 placeholders with client elements. The demo uses experimental Concurrent Mode, Suspense cache and a start/flush drain handler; current shortcomings include hard-coded routing, waiting for webpack output and full-app re-renders per request.
