Overview
A server component can simply await its data. No client-side loading state, no waterfall of effects, and no exposed credentials.
In this lesson you will:
- Await data directly inside an async server component
- Fetch in parallel instead of sequential waterfalls
- Keep tokens and database access on the server
Pro Tip
Use caching and revalidation wisely to ensure your app stays fast and data remains fresh without unnecessary requests.
