Deploy a Svelte App

Deploy SvelteKit as a static site — no server required

Last updated: February 20, 2026

SvelteKit defaults to server-side rendering, but one config change turns it into a fully static site. Swap in adapter-static, run the build, and your Svelte app is live on a global edge network — no Node server needed. Plain Svelte (without SvelteKit) works with zero config.

Deploy in 3 steps

From zero to live in under a minute.

1

Create your Svelte project

Scaffold a new project with the official SvelteKit / Vite CLI.

bash

npx sv create my-app

2

Build for production

Run the build command to generate static output in build/.

bash

cd my-app && npm run build

3

Deploy to ZeroDeploy

One command to push your site to the edge. It's live in seconds.

bash

zerodeploy deploy --dir build

Configuration Required

SvelteKit uses server-side rendering by default. To deploy as a static site, you need to install and configure the static adapter.

svelte.config.js

import adapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-static';

export default {
  kit: {
    adapter: adapter({
      fallback: '404.html'
    })
  }
};

Things to know

Svelte-specific tips to avoid common pitfalls.

SvelteKit must use @sveltejs/adapter-static for static deployment. Install it with npm i -D @sveltejs/adapter-static and update svelte.config.js.
Set fallback: '404.html' in the adapter config if your app uses client-side routing, so deep links are handled correctly.
If you're using plain Svelte (not SvelteKit), the output directory is dist/ instead of build/.
