# Mastering React Server Components React Server Components represent a paradigm shift in how we build React applications. They enable us to render components on the server, reducing the JavaScript bundle size and improving performance. ## What are Server Components? Server Components are React components that run exclusively on the server. They can access backend resources directly, fetch data, and render HTML that gets sent to the client. ## Key Benefits 1. **Reduced Bundle Size**: Server components don't get included in the client bundle 2. **Direct Database Access**: Access databases and APIs directly without creating API routes 3. **Improved Performance**: Less JavaScript to download and execute on the client 4. **Better SEO**: Content is rendered on the server, improving search engine visibility ## Implementation Example ```jsx // ServerComponent.tsx async function BlogPost({ id }) { const post = await db.post.findById(id); return (

{post.title}

{post.content}

); } ``` This is just the beginning of what's possible with Server Components!
