Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • In a SvelteKit app, the best and safest way is to use a `.env` file and environment variables, not a JSON or JS config file. That’s the standard Node approach and it keeps your database credentials secure and out of the client bundle.
  • Fastest to get up and running would be sveltekit. It uses straight TS/JS and the learning curve is very approachable. Makes writing a frontend and backend very simple.
  • There are a couple of advantages to using sveltekit over nextjs. Such as arguably sveltekit has the bigger ecosystem, since any library even react ones, can be used.
  • Sveltekit is easier to understand. Moreover, the new remote functions + async in Sveltekit is a game changer in terms of performance and dev experience.
  • SvelteKit with static adapter does produce (who would have guessed that) static files.

Cons

  • I built those sites in SvelteKit and now maintenance is a chore. I forget how everything works, how to compile the code, what extensions I need, what files I need to ignore from git. I dunno, it's all so cumbersome.

If you do want to do js choose one of the isomorphic js frameworks like sveltekit, nuxt, etc

Parent context: I'm dumb so excuse my question. Doesn't sveltekit do this out of the box? Reply: yes but thats because sveltekit is a framework. This is a native, simple solution.

Sveltekit is great for individual projects imo

I’m a self-taught developer and so far my go to stack is: FE / BE - Svelte / Sveltekit Deployment and hosting - Vercel Auth and database - Supbase While it’s great and it works, I want to improve my stack to be cheaper and more resilient
