React Server Components

React Server Components (RSC) represent a paradigm shift in how we build React applications. By moving component logic to the server, we can reduce bundle sizes, access backend resources directly, and improve initial page load performance.

In this module, we will deep dive into the architecture, exploring how Server and Client components interact, how data is serialized, and how to leverage Server Actions for mutations. We will also cover Suspense and Streaming to deliver progressive user experiences.

Module Contents

1. RSC Architecture

Understand the “Dual-Component Model”. Learn how Server Components differ from Client Components, the serialization format (RSC Payload), and when to use each.

2. Server Actions

Master data mutations with Server Actions. Learn how to invoke server-side logic directly from your components, handle form submissions, and manage optimistic updates.

3. Suspense Streaming

Unlock the power of Streaming SSR. Learn how Suspense boundaries allow you to break down your UI into chunks, delivering content as soon as it’s ready and solving the waterfall problem.
