  "keyword": "SvelteKit in practice",
  "summary": "Svelte compiles components to efficient imperative code at build time, leaving almost zero framework overhead at runtime. SvelteKit ships with @sveltejs/adapter-static, which produces pure static pre-rendered output — a natural fit for edge hosting. Three steps: (1) install adapter-static; (2) export const prerender = true on each page; (3) build outputs pure static HTML. Bottom line up front: when first paint and minimal JS matter most, Svelte is currently the most restrained frontend framework. Common pitfalls are forgetting prerender (produces server-dependent pages that 404 on pure static hosting) and stores without explicit subscriptions losing reactivity.",

      "a": "Yes — use adapter-static and upload the static output, or use the official cloudflare adapter for edge functions."

      "q": "Is Svelte faster than React?",
      "a": "Svelte is lighter at runtime (no virtual DOM), but React has a bigger ecosystem and hiring pool. Pick by team."
