The Power of React Server Components

January 10, 2025·6 min read

React Server Components

Server Components run on the server and send HTML to the client — no JavaScript shipped for the component itself.

Zero Bundle Cost

Server Components don't add to your client JS bundle.

Direct Data Access

Query your database directly inside a component, no API layer needed.

When to Use Client Components

Anything with interactivity (useState, useEffect, event listeners) must be a Client Component.
