Hydrogen: An Early Look at Server Components in the Wild
Hydrogen and server components are being used by big merchants in production sites to build headless storefronts quickly. React 18 introduces server components that allow for interactive rendering without adding anything to the bundle. However, not all libraries are compatible and data fetching can slow down the site, but React provides suspense to handle heavy components. Server components offer great encapsulation and fast rendering via HTML, and the future of headless is promising with technologies like Edgeworkers and hosting platforms like Oxygen. Shopify is hiring and offers a demo shop with server components at addogen.new.
