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.
