Overview:

SvelteKit on the edge allows you to run a demo SvelteKit app on Vercel Edge Functions, which provides fast dynamic server-side rendering close to your users. This enables your app to achieve the speed of static content.

Features:

• Dynamic Server-side Rendering: SvelteKit on the edge utilizes Vercel Edge Functions to enable dynamic server-side rendering.
• Fast Performance: By running close to the users, the app can achieve fast rendering speed similar to static content.
• Ease of Deployment: The app can be easily deployed by linking the repository to your Vercel account or by creating a production build locally.

Installation:

To enable edge functions in your SvelteKit app deployed to Vercel, follow these steps:

1. Use your package manager (npm, pnpm, or yarn) to install the @sveltejs/adapter-vercel package.

npm install @sveltejs/adapter-vercel

2. Update the svelte.config.js file in your project to use adapter-vercel instead of the default adapter-auto.
3. Pass the runtime: 'edge' option to the adapter in the svelte.config.js file.

Summary:

SvelteKit on the edge is a powerful feature that allows you to leverage the benefits of Vercel Edge Functions to achieve fast server-side rendering for your SvelteKit app. By following the installation guide, you can easily enable this feature and deploy your app to Vercel for optimal performance.
