Despite some not-great recent news about security vulnerabilities, React Server Components (RSCs) are likely in pretty high volume use around the internet thanks to default usage within Next.js, perhaps without users even really knowing it. I enjoyed Nadia Makarevich’s performance-focuced look at them in Bundle Size Investigation: A Step-by-Step Guide to Shrinking Your JavaScript. The how/when/why to take advantage of RSCs is not exactly crystal clear. Myself, I feel like a “basically get it” but sometimes the more I read the more confused I get 🙃. Dan Ambrov’s writing can be helpful.
