"The hype around the introduction of React Server Components (RSC) was undeniable. For the uninitiated, RSCs are a new way to build React apps that render components on the server, keeping code and data-fetching logic away from the client. The promise was appealing: a unified approach to server and client rendering, unmatched performance, and simpler data fetching, enough to convince many of us that this was the next best thing after cheese."
"In this article, we'll walk through some of the unexpected challenges you might face when adopting React Server Components, along with the trade-offs to keep in mind before deciding if they're right for your project. The problems you didn't see coming React Server Components come with their fair share of surprises. This section covers some of the pain points, sources of confusion, and real-world bugs you may encounter when working with RSC."
React Server Components render components on the server and centralize code and data fetching away from clients. React 19 stabilizes RSC, but tooling, documentation, and third-party library support remain immature. Adoption reveals complexities such as confusing loading states, a multi-layered caching system that complicates debugging, and a server-waterfall where sibling components trigger sequential server requests, slowing performance. These issues can turn simple apps into a debugging maze. Many rough edges are temporary as the ecosystem matures, but understanding trade-offs is essential before adopting RSC in production.
