Are you confused about React Server Components? You are not alone. It’s the biggest paradigm shift in React since Hooks, and it changes how we build web applications. For years, we relied on Client-Side Rendering (CSR) which meant sending massive JavaScript bundles to the user, leading to slow load times and blank screens. Then came Server-Side Rendering (SSR), which helped, but didn't solve the bundle size problem. This video breaks down how React Server Components (RSCs) finally solve this issue by allowing components to run exclusively on the server, sending zero JavaScript to the client.
