Deploy SvelteKit in 60 Seconds

SvelteKit is the official full-stack framework for Svelte. Deploy with SSR, form actions, and server-side load functions on a real server — one command, done.

Deploy SvelteKit Starting at $3/mo

The usual way to deploy SvelteKit

Picking the right adapter: @sveltejs/adapter-node vs adapter-auto vs platform-specific adapters
adapter-node output needs a HOST and PORT configuration, and the build directory structure is non-obvious
Configuring a process manager for the Node server while correctly serving _app/immutable static assets
Prerendered pages live in a different directory than server-rendered ones — nginx config gets complicated
Environment variable handling has $env/static vs $env/dynamic, and getting them right in production vs build is confusing

SvelteKit adapters add a layer of confusion between your code and actually getting it online.

Or just run one command

$ instapods deploy my-sveltekit-app --preset nodejs

→ Uploading files...

→ Installing dependencies (npm install)...

→ Building (vite build)...

→ Starting Node server...

SvelteKit deployment notes

Use adapter-node

Install @sveltejs/adapter-node and set it in svelte.config.js. This produces a self-contained Node server that InstaPods can run directly.

Static Prerendering

Pages with export const prerender = true are pre-built as HTML. SvelteKit serves them automatically — no special config needed on InstaPods.

Env Variables

Use $env/dynamic/private for secrets in server-side code. Set them in the InstaPods dashboard and they are available at runtime via process.env.
