Dive deep into how RSCs are changing the landscape of web development, from performance gains to architectural shifts.
## The Paradigm Shift
React Server Components (RSC) represent one of the biggest shifts in the React ecosystem since hooks. They allow us to move data-fetching logic to the server while keeping our interactive components on the client.
### Key Benefits
1. **Zero Bundle Size**: Server components aren't sent to the client.
2. **Direct Backend Access**: Query databases directly.
3. **Automatic Code Splitting**: Client components are only loaded when needed.
This architecture simplifies how we build full-stack applications.
