Server Actions in Next.js 13.4

What's the point of this? I've tested it and it just sends a post request to an under-the-hood generated API endpoint. It does not allow me to do form validations nicely, does not speed up anything as it's still just a POST request to an AWS Lambda function.

And like how do I protect this generated endpoint? I just dont get this whole feature.

Leerob maybe explain pls?

I'm personally going the other way, moving as much logic as possible out of Next.js. I want to keep my frontend clean, simple and separated from the backend as much as possible as this is clearly where must of the churn happens.

index.php is back
