Exploring Next.js Server Actions
A tour of the new Server Actions pattern in React 19 and Next.js 16.

### Benefits
- No custom API routes needed for simple workflows
- Automatic request validation via the web platform
- Reduced client bundle size because actions don't ship to the browser
### Practical tips
Wrap shared validation in helpers, return typed states to your components, and remember to revalidate the paths that render the changed data.
