Summary

React Server Components (RSC) offer a new way to render components on the server, enhancing performance by reducing client-side JavaScript and improving SEO due to server-side rendering of content. Unlike Client-Side Rendering (CSR), which performs rendering in the browser, and Server-Side Rendering (SSR), which sends fully-rendered HTML to the client but requires hydration, RSC efficiently handles data closer to the database and reduces the initial JavaScript sent to clients. However, they lack client-side interactivity and browser API access, necessitating the use of Client Components for dynamic updates. In Next.js, RSC can be implemented using methods like static, dynamic, and streaming renderings, and they are particularly advantageous for static, non-interactive content. The tutorial further illustrates setting up a view counter using RSC in Next.js, highlighting the setup of project and environment, creation of a views component, and integration with Redis for data handling, ultimately showing how to deploy the application on Vercel.
