Next Episode: Implementing RSC, Part 2: Server Actions

Ryan shares how building his own RSC implementation from scratch helped him better understand React’s new paradigm. He and Sam talk about how a client React app can fetch an RSC Payload from a server endpoint to update the UI, how an RSC server renders and bundles Client code that’s part of a Server Component tree, and how a client-side Router can be used to fetch new RSC trees based on the URL.

Topics include:
