What Changed In Real Projects
The App Router reduces routing boilerplate, but teams still struggle with where to fetch data and where to place state. The best results came from deciding boundaries early.

- Keep server components default.
- Move client state to leaf components.
- Use route segments intentionally for loading and error boundaries.
Takeaway
Start simple, then optimize based on measured bottlenecks.
