How React Server Components Work

Explore how React Server Components work under the hood in this hands-on session with live coding in Next.js. We’ll break down the different types of rendering, understand how SSR integrates with both client and server components, and clarify when to use directives like use client, use server, and server only. You’ll also learn about server actions, the new hooks (useActionState, useFormStatus), and the mindset shift needed to work effectively with Server Components.
