With that in mind, if you’re the type of person that likes to experiment with the latest and greatest, React Server Components is well worth trying. The Server Components intro video is excellent, the React team’s RFC is a well-written guide that details how everything works. There’s also an open pull request where you can submit your own feedback on the feature.
