Summary
In this chapter, we learned about RSCs, why they were introduced, what their advantages are, and how they fit into our full-stack architecture. Then, we learned how to safely implement RSCs by introducing a data layer into our app. Afterward, we fetched data from our database and rendered components using RSCs. Finally, we learned about Server Actions and added interactive features to our blog app. Now, our blog app is fully functional again!
In the next chapter, Chapter 18, Advanced Next.js Concepts and Optimizations, we are going to dive deep into how Next.js works and how we can further optimize our app when using it. We are going to learn about caching, image and font optimizations, and how to define metadata for SEO optimization.
