Yes—an async Server Component can call the database directly, preferably through a server-only DAL: ```tsx export default async function Page() { const user = await getUserDto() return <Profile user={user} /> } ``` Authenticate and authorize inside the DAL, return a minimal DTO, and never expose ORM instances or secrets to Client Components. Do not fetch the application’s own API route from the server; call the service directly.
