## What it is
An official demo application from the React team showcasing React Server Components, an experimental React feature that lets components run purely on the server. It is intended for learning and experimentation, not production use, and pairs with the React team's introductory talk.

## Use cases
- learn how react server components work
- experiment with server components locally
- understand zero-bundle-size react patterns
- see how server and client components interact
- follow along with the react server components talk
- explore server components database-backed demo app

## When to choose
- you want a hands-on, official example of React Server Components
- you are evaluating or learning RSC concepts before framework adoption
- you want to follow along with the React team's introductory talk

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready setup - the feature is explicitly not ready for adoption
- you need server-side rendering (SSR) - this demo intentionally excludes it
- you want to benchmark RSC against other frameworks - the demo lacks optimized bundling and partial refetching
