Frontend Schism: Will React Server Components Destroy React?

To quickly summarize, React Server Components (RSCs) are components that run exclusively on the server. As the React team explained in March 2022, when stable support for this “new type of component” was added in React 18, RSCs “run ahead of time and are excluded from your [client-side] JavaScript bundle.” Next.js (developed by Vercel, which also supports and helps fund React development) was the first major framework to announce support for RSCs, in Next.js 13 released in October 2022. This version of Next.js integrated RSCs as part of its new App Router architecture.
