In the below code, will Next automaticall append "https://mywebsite" to the request? or it will fire blank "/users"?
export default async function UserDetails() {
const response = await fetch('/users');
const user = await response.json();
return (
<div>
<h1>{user.name}</h1>
</div>
);

Don’t fetch your own API routes from server-side code: https://nextjs-faq.com/fetch-api-in-rsc
And to actually answer the question since I forgot to be explicit: no, server-side code has no concept of a base URL.
