Using debounce within the React render cycle

Debounce behaviour is helpful when we want additional control over when a function is called. When implemented properly, we can call a debounced function any number of times, but it will only be invoked after a specified amount of time has passed from its last call. This is helpful in scenarios such as waiting for the user to finish typing before sending out a network request.
