Rethinking the Client-Server Boundary

React Server Components can keep suitable interface code on the server and reduce the JavaScript sent to browsers, depending on which components need client-side behavior.

Moving suitable data fetching to the server can reduce some client-side request waterfalls and provide rendered HTML earlier, depending on the page's data dependencies and deployment environment.
