Paul Scanlon uses Waku to show how RSCs give React developers access to asynchronous server-side requests and data at the component level.

The New Stack is a publication covering trends and technologies in cloud-native development, DevOps, and software delivery. Developers can learn about containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud computing, as well as explore topics such as microservices architecture, serverless computing, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

The New Stack

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.

React Server Components in a Nutshell

<p>Waku is framework on Japanese. Well I learned something new today :D</p>
