Reactathon Workshop: Up to speed with React Server Components

​Improve your app’s performance by shipping less client-side code

​Everyone’s buzzing about React Server Components – they’re the latest and greatest way to achieve performance gains within your React application. RSC turns a lot of what we’ve learned about Single-Page Applications on its head, so you might have a lot of questions around what all the fuss is about:

• ​What’s the deal with RSC?

• ​What’s the difference between a server component and a client component?

• ​How do I use server components?

• ​What benefits do server components provide?

• ​How do I implement data fetching in server components?

• ​How can I stream in parts of my page as the server loads?

• ​How do I migrate to using server components?

​Good news: Mux has answers! In this workshop, you’ll learn from the Mux team’s experience about the pros and cons of moving to React Server Components in production. You’ll build a demo application showcasing how to leverage React Server Components with a real-world use case. And, as an added bonus, you’ll learn a thing or two about building with video along the way.

​Keep up to date with the latest in the React ecosystem with a fun-filled workshop at the Mux office–run by the video experts at Mux.
