React Server Components (RSCs) allow React developers to access asynchronous server-side requests and the resulting data at the component level. They simplify the process of data fetching and eliminate the need for prop drilling. Waku is a minimal React framework that supports RSCs. RSCs are similar in concept to Gatsby's useStaticQuery hook, but the data fetching happens at runtime. When using RSCs, developers need to consider whether to perform component-level data fetching or route-level data fetching based on performance considerations. RSCs are not a one-size-fits-all solution, but they provide an additional option for building data-intensive React applications.
