my humble opinion is that if people took the time to understand react server components, they would see that 90% of websites would net benefit from their architecture. you only have to learn how they work once. most of the cost is cognitive, not architectural.

I actually prefer self hosting it. It’s not that difficult. A docker container and Cloudflare fronting your server gets you most of the way there.

Yeah if you can heavily cache most requests you can keep server load minimal. Ive found it difficult to manage performance, even behind a CDN, when some or all routes require a server round trip. Getting consistent request latency requires a lot more containers available to serve requests.

I haven’t found that to be the case until you start pushing 30rps, which is more than people generally think. Your db will generally bottleneck before then. But it’s pretty trivial to horizontally scale too.
