Vercel is deeply invested in Svelte's success and continuously works to make its platform the best place to build and deploy Svelte apps. This includes close collaboration with Svelte maintainers, with several Svelte core team members working at Vercel. Vercel's platform supports SvelteKit and other frameworks through the Build Output API, enabling features like Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR), streaming serverless function responses, dynamic image optimization, and Skew Protection. This post details Rich Harris's vision for Svelte's future, including its edge-first approach and how Vercel's infrastructure will support its growth and adoption.
