I was at ReactSummit this June and spoke with some folks from Vercel about Next.js and RSC support outside of the framework. I really wanted to try all the cool stuff but couldn’t afford to migrate my massive apps to Next.js. The conclusion was clear: it’s difficult to start using RSC without a framework.

“Hold my ,” I said to myself, and started exploring.

Unclear what happens if the client bundle doesn't load. Next.js gives you a fallback: what's the story here?

That's a good question. So far it simply renders whatever the server sent. Meaning the client components are still rendered but with no data and non-functional.
