React Server Components: Security, Outages, and Architecture : A Fix Broke The Internet (cloudfare)

Description

The sources provide a comprehensive look at the React JavaScript library, including its history, key features like the Virtual DOM and component-based architecture, and its evolution through concepts such as hooks and server components. A significant portion of the material compares React's performance and use cases against frameworks like Angular and Vue, noting React's optimization for dynamic UIs. Additionally, the texts document multiple recent Cloudflare outages—in November and December 2025—with one outage specifically linked to configuration changes made to mitigate a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in React and Next.js, underscoring the practical, real-world security challenges facing React applications. Finally, an interview with React's Dan Abramov offers expert insights into the complexities of React Server Components and the shifting atmosphere of the broader tech community.
