SvelteKit Adapters

19. SvelteKit Adapters & Production Deployment

Select and configure the optimal SvelteKit deployment adapter for static edge CDN hosting, Node.js Docker containers, or serverless edge workers.

adapters-deploy.ts
// svelte.config.js: Adapter Configuration
import adapterStatic from '@sveltejs/adapter-static';
import adapterCloudflare from '@sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare';
import adapterNode from '@sveltejs/adapter-node';

// Switchable adapter configuration based on deployment target
const target = process.env.DEPLOY_TARGET || 'static';

export default {
  kit: {
    adapter: target === 'cloudflare' 
      ? adapterCloudflare({ routes: { include: ['/*'], exclude: ['<all>'] } })
      : target === 'node'
      ? adapterNode({ out: 'build' })
      : adapterStatic({ pages: 'build', assets: 'build', fallback: '404.html' })
  }
};

SvelteKit Adapters & Production Deployment

SvelteKit's adapter architecture compiles your universal codebase for any deployment target without changing application source code.

  • @sveltejs/adapter-static: Pre-renders entire static sites for zero-server CDN hosting with zero compute runtime costs.
  • @sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare: Compiles dynamic server routes into high-performance Cloudflare V8 Edge Isolates.
  • @sveltejs/adapter-node: Produces a standalone Node.js server containerized easily with Docker.
  • @sveltejs/adapter-vercel: Automatically maps server routes to Vercel Serverless/Edge functions with ISR support.
