Summary

SvelteKit 1.0 has been released, allowing developers to leverage the power of full-stack Svelte without worrying about breaking changes. The framework-defined infrastructure (FDI) brought by Vercel enables features previously only available in Next.js, such as per-route configuration for Serverless and Edge Functions, Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR), and easier compatibility with various deployment environments. SvelteKit's adapter system allows flexibility from one codebase to deploy to any number of platforms, with adapters built-in for Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, Node, and more. Per-route data fetching and rendering enable benefits such as avoiding layout shift and other issues that come from loading data after page render. Serverless vs. Edge Functions have distinct advantages, and configuring individual routes allows choosing between the two. Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) combines the benefits of SSG and SSR, offering fast load times for end-users and reduced load on servers. Other Vercel gains include data at the edge, preview deployments with live editing and commenting, and analytics to monitor application performance.
