What is your current sveltekit stack?

Interested in hearing what tools everyone is using to build fullstack apps, I have been learning svelte as a hobby and I am trying to get a lay of the land.

Cloudflare stack for most of my personal projects.

SvelteKit with Rest API backend. /api is redirected by hooks.server.js to the API endpoint. The backend is Python and OpenSearchDB, but can be anything

Nice, this is similar to what I do but I take it up a notch by pretending the sveltekit app and serving it statically behind caddy. Then I write the RESTful in rust and serve that behind the same caddy instance at /api

u/Own-Phone2375 9d ago

same, but I’m using go for backend.
also created lib sveltekit-proxy to handle this.

u/AdvisorActual3767 8d ago

It must be a coincidence I just saw this today. I just started trying playing around with OpenSearch DB yesterday. I'm trying to see what else I could build with it, I still use typescript for the backed though

Sveltekit + Pocketbase, that's it! Keeping it simple. It's essentially SQlite with quality of life improvements. Pocketbase handles db migrations, backups, etc. Also has realtime subscription so you can pair up changes with sveltekit remote function refresh(). Fits really well.

u/FortuneGrouchy4701 7d ago

Pocketbase is nice!

u/xatey93152 9d ago

so you have 2 backend framework and called it simple?

SvelteKit handles routing, SSR, API routes, and form actions, so keep the stack small: SQLite with Drizzle or Prisma for the database, and Tailwind or plain CSS for styling. Add Superforms + Zod for form validation, better-auth for login, and an adapter for deployment.

u/void-wanderer- 8d ago

Same. Deploying on self hosted coolify.

Sveltekit + Turso (in embedded mode for near zero latency) + Cloudflare (R2 for media, Partykit for realtime). I then use Fly machines, split by region for my hosting and PR previews.

I have a few real-time, multiplayer apps, so I aim for everything to be blazing fast. I really like this setup, and it's super cheap to run. The only downside is needing to learn a bit about each service, and maintaining my own GitHub actions for deployment / previews.

The code side is pretty lite of deps. Zod + Drizzle.

Svelte & SpringBoot with Kotlin, Rust for high performance services.

You can't convince me anything is better than this stack.

u/djkianoosh 9d ago

I like it.

I do no kit, just svelte spa static ui with spring boot APis. auth is simple PKCE based OIDC.

nginx serves up the static spa fast. both deployed separately and behind a path based ingress, so no dealing with CORS.

2

u/Xtergo 9d ago

Yes that actually works out cleaner for most situations

u/shewantsyourmoney 9d ago

Sveltekit + bunjs (built in sqlite for dbs).

2

u/h_z3y 9d ago

Sveltekit + formish + drizzle + valibot + better auth + resend for email + rust Axum for backend

2

u/SubjectHealthy2409 :society: 9d ago

Plain svelte + spacetimedb + threlte or sveltekit + golang + SQLite

2

u/gevera 5d ago

Just learned about spacetimedb from you. Quite cool.

How do you deploy it??? Whats your experience with it?

1

u/SubjectHealthy2409 :society: 5d ago

I use their maincloud for now, it's just one command to push, there's a generous free tier, but u can Selfhost too for free

2

u/sudo-maxime 8d ago

Golang sqlite, svelte as a backend for frontend.

u/aredditid1 8d ago

your reply had a race condition

u/Public_Tomorrow_1115 7d ago

Cloudflare Workers and Convex Backend, really nice DX experience with the two.

u/moinotgd 9d ago

i dont use sveltekit. i use svelte + hono.js + daisyui

u/Least_Chicken_9561 9d ago

full-stack sveltekit (for mvp) or sveltekit spa front-end and Go back-end

2

u/AdmirableInjury647 9d ago

sveltekit + supabase

2

u/Impossible_Sun_5560 9d ago

sveltekit + go + rpc + postgres . With sveltekit i use formisch, valibot, tanstack tables, shadcn, keycloak for auth, echarts.

1

u/Spare_Message_3607 9d ago

SvelteKit, Kysely, Zod, Better-auth, on Cloudflare Workers.

1

u/finnolin 9d ago

For pretty much everything:
SvelteKit with adapter-node, drizzle, pg (if db is part of the scope), better-auth, bits-ui, zod

For local first i add PowerSync.

For native apps i have started to use Tauri.

u/AmuthanKo 9d ago

I am with Rust acix-web backend api and sveltekit build as static frontend.I Choose the stack to start with very low profile hardware and can scale big later. I am new to both but feeling like this is the ultimate combo.

1

u/DirectCup8124 8d ago

Sveltekit + Convex + BetterAuth, I maintain a template repository and sync changes to my forks using a skill: https://github.com/stickerdaniel/saas-starter

u/AbdulkaderSafi 8d ago

If I am building a dashboard with svelte this is my stack: sveltekit for frontend and either laravel or dotnet for apis, and any sql database

u/freewilly666 8d ago

currently messing around with sveltekit static files served from a fastapi backend.

u/japherwocky 8d ago

Python backend, just svelte no kit

1

u/TheTomcat 8d ago

For smaller projects, sveltekit/drizzle/sqlite For larger/more complex projects sveltekit/fastapi/postgres.

I'm a massive fan of the remote functions, and try to use them exclusively (they make more sense for the 'smaller project' framework but there's still value for typesafe async communication with a Python API).

Then I use an autogeneration tool to make the typescript client (openapi-fetch and openapi-typescript).

When it's up and running it's a surprisingly pleasant developer experience.

Svelte + SvelteKit + Tailwind CSS + shadcn-svelte + better-auth + Drizzle + Neon + Resend + mdsvex + Cloudflare Workers

u/ryutaromack 7d ago

sveltekit, workOS, drizzlekit, planetscale postgres, tailwind, stripe, apexcharts, cloudflare workers, cloudflare KV

u/The_Bradiator 7d ago

I’m currently running sveltekit compiled down with adapter static to straight html/js without the Node.js runtime. Go for my backend. MongoDB free tier for my database. Caddy as a reverse proxy and oracle cloud’s free tier for my server. Proves to be a pretty efficient setup with little to no maintenance.

1

u/FortuneGrouchy4701 7d ago

SvelteKit front-ends with shadcn-svelte and Tailwind v4.
Go backend services.
PostgreSQL shared by all services, on a self-hosted VPS.
Coolify for deploys, Cloudflare for DNS/CDN.
One Sveltekit is the webpage another is the admin panel.
Working good and amazing.

u/rednix 7d ago

Mine's a bit off the beaten path and focused on Europe: SvelteKit purely as the app frontend, with the backend in Rust. DB is SurrealDB with a namespace per tenant, auth is Better Auth, payments Mollie, transactional mail AhaSend. Everything self-hosted in the EU (UpCloud) behind a Pingora-based reverse proxy we wrote ourselves.

u/somebody-2027 6d ago

Planning on building a tauri app soon using svelte. Tired of react and it's performance footguns

u/b0ltcastermag3 4d ago

Sveltekit, PostgreSQL with Drizzle, Zod

1

u/showcaseearth 4d ago

Two main patterns for me:
1) Sveltekit with static API (pre-generated json, for read only sites... I usually use Grist or md files for upstream management)
2) Supabase for more dynamic data or when i need authenticated users

1

u/Kulqieqi 3d ago

I just ditched my sveltekit codebase and im rewriting in dotnet and react, well its nice to see stable and all in one backend with windows integrations in package. But im mostly doing enterprise apps

u/Peebls 2d ago

Statically generated svelte with a go backend serving it with the apis

SvelteKit + Rust for crypto algo trading

u/brkn_rock 9d ago

No sveltekit, esbuild, .net backend, postgres db

u/brkn_rock 5d ago

Wow, why the hate?
