  The best React-based framework with performance, scalability and security built in.

  

The other piece of important information to acknowledge here is that when we say RSCs need a framework, “framework” effectively just means “Next.js.” There are some smaller frameworks (like Waku) that support RSCs. There are also some larger and more established frameworks (like Redwood) that have plans to support RSCs or (like Gatsby) only support RSCs in beta. We will likely see this change once we get React 19 and RSCs are part of the Stable version. However, for now, Next.js is currently the only framework recommended in the official React docs that supports server components.

Almost certainly. From a technical perspective: We know they’ll be included as part of the mainline, stable release in React 19 (although we don’t know when exactly that will come). From an adoption perspective: In addition to the endorsement of RSCs from several big voices in the React community, our most tangible indication of RSCs gaining popularity is Next.js.
