Deep dives

Server components simplify data fetching

Server components make data fetching easier by removing the need for separate API endpoints. You can simply use server actions to make database calls or perform mutations without the extra setup. This eliminates the need for complex API logic and allows you to focus on writing react components that trigger these server actions.
