I haven't used Svelte beyond a couple toy tutorials, but, for me, the infrastructure adapters [1] are the most exciting thing. I love the idea of being able to build using Svelte and auto-magically deploy to something like Cloudflare Pages without completely giving up the potential to deploy somewhere else.

I've got mixed feelings about this and I'm sure I'm in the minority. Those adapters are usually supported by the commercial company that wants you to use them. But, for example, the static or node adapters often don't work great with the important parts of svelte kit like SSR, and feel like second class citizens.

I love svelte but I'm having a hard time getting the same development ergonomics out of svelte kit. It's probably just me.

adapter-static is meant for generating fully static sites. It's fundamentally not aiming to and cannot support SSR in that context. However, SSR is fully supported in adapter-node, which is well maintained.

Infrastructure adapters are becoming table stakes for frontend frameworks.

Which other frameworks have them out of interest? Sounds like a great feature. AFAIK Next doesn’t and it’ll be interesting to see if it gets them given it’s from Vercel. When I tried Remix you had to choose your deployment when initialising a project and it didn’t look trivial to change it, but that was a while ago.

Solid & Astro.
