Server Components vs Django Views

When I first read about React Server Components I thought "isn't this just SSR?" — but it's actually quite different. In Django, a view receives an HTTP request, queries the DB, and renders a template into HTML. The template engine runs once per request, sends the result, and the page is done. Server Components are similar but composable. Each component can independently fetch its own data, render its own HTML, and stream it to the browser. The browser stitches the pieces together as they arrive. You get the developer ergonomics of components with the performance characteristics of SSR.
