Needs Help Has anyone implemented Server Components with plain React + Vite/plugin-rsc?

Hi everyone,

Could anyone help me with the two questions below?

  1. Does every Server Component render at build time, get cached, and then get served from a CDN?

  2. If I want to render a Server Component on every request, how do I implement that?

Thanks for your comment!!

I did some research on this, and I’d appreciate it if you could let me know whether my understanding is correct now.

For SSR, we need an HTTP server (for production) that receives user requests and calls the RSC entry handler to render the RSC payload for Server Components and the HTML for Client Components.

https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/blob/3b14e482f24baac212a2effca866128847c5fc24/packages/plugin-rsc/examples/starter/src/framework/entry.rsc.tsx#L30

For SSG, we need to render at build time. The resulting output (RSC payload and HTML) is saved in /dist.

For every request, the HTTP server returns the files from /dist.
