SvelteKit

This is an example of how to set up a static site with SvelteKit on Kinsta’s Static Site Hosting services from a GitHub repository.

SvelteKit is a full-stack framework built on top of the Svelte frontend framework. It allows developers to build powerful, scalable web applications with minimal boilerplate and setup. More information is available on the SvelteKit website.

Prerequisites

• Kinsta’s quick start templates are stored and managed in GitHub; therefore, you need a GitHub account to access them.
• You need to create a MyKinsta account to deploy the static site.

Deploy an SvelteKit static site

1. Log in to GitHub and create a new repository from this template (Use this template > Create a new repository): static-sveltekit-demo.
2. In MyKinsta, click Static Sites > Add site > select GitHub, click Connect git provider > Authorize, and log in to your GitHub account.
3. Choose the SvelteKit repository, click Continue, and enter the following in the Build settings:
   • Build command: npm run build
   • Node version: 18
   • Publish directory: build
4. Click Create site.

During the deployment process, Kinsta automatically installs dependencies defined in your package.json file. The site is available as soon as the deployment finishes, and the Kinsta Welcome page loads at your site’s URL.

Deployment lifecycle

Whenever a deployment is initiated (through creating a static site or re-deploying due to an incoming commit), the build command is run, followed by the deployment of the Publish Directory content.
