A deep visual guide to how Next.js and React Server Components really work under the hood. Why Client Components run on the server, what the RSC Payload is, and how hydration connects them.
If you ask ten developers what the "use client" directive does in Next.js, at least eight of them will give you the same intuitive answer:
"Server Components run on the server. Client Components run in the browser. So 'use client' tells Next.js to run the component on the client."
