React Server Components
summary
Server components render on Node and send a serialized JSX‑like payload so heavy libraries like date‑fns never land in the client bundle, claiming zero bundle size for server code. Example email app uses Next 12 canary + React RC and react‑dom RC, renders email list and body from the server, keeps client component state (favorites) across route changes, and shows no date‑fns in the client bundle. Still experimental, possible DB/file‑access security tradeoffs and no large production rollouts yet.
