FYI: The Next.js App Router prerenders by default, meaning pages will be statically generated as HTML. This has been the behavior since Next.js 9 (and the Pages Router). React Server Components, despite first impression from the name, can be prerendered and do not require an always-on server to use.

Hey leerob,

Thanks for your work on Next! It's still my go-to framework for most projects.

But can I ask, please, what you think the primary advantages of RSCs and the App Router are over Pages?

Is it worth the additional complexity over Pages for most use cases? When does it make sense and when does it not?
