  • Total platform for building Svelte apps
  • Built in Vite.js
    • Includes all of the Vite goodness but it hides behind the scenes for the most part
  • Host anywhere

05:16 - Is it CSR, SSR, SSG, WTF?!

  • All of the above. Uses adapters to control the output:
kit: {

		target: '#svelte',
		adapter: adapter()
}
