Introduction

React Server Components (RSC) represent a major shift in how we build React applications. Instead of sending all JavaScript to the client, we can now render components exclusively on the server.

Why it matters

1. Zero Bundle Size: Server components' code isn't sent to the client.
2. Direct Database Access: You can query your DB directly inside your component.

Improved Performance

By moving heavy dependencies to the server, we reduce the amount of code the browser needs to download and execute.
