React Server Components: Complete Guide

What are React Server Components?

React Server Components (RSC) is a new rendering architecture that allows components to run on the server. This means part of your application can work without JavaScript on the client.

Benefits of Server Components

  • Smaller bundle size — server components don't send JavaScript to the client
  • Direct data access — can directly access the database
  • Automatic caching — render results are cached
  • Improved performance — less work for the browser
