// Server Component (Default)
import { UserProfile } from './user-profile';
import { InteractiveLikeButton } from './like-button';

export default async function Page() {
  const user = await fetchUserData();
  return (
    <div>
      <UserProfile user={user} />
      <InteractiveLikeButton initialLikes={user.likes} />
    </div>
  );
}

Outstanding technical breakdown! The distributed lock pattern with Redis and Spring Boot 4 is exactly what we needed for our microservices pipeline.

Loved the benchmarks and real-world architecture diagrams! Could you cover gRPC streams vs WebSockets in the next article?
