Why SvelteKit Is Becoming Popular for Backend Development
In the world of web development, frameworks and tools are constantly evolving to provide developers with better performance, simpler workflows, and more flexibility. While Svelte has already gained popularity for its simplicity and efficiency in front-end development, SvelteKit — its full-stack framework — is quickly becoming a go-to choice for backend development as well. In this article, we’ll explore why SvelteKit for backend development is growing in popularity and how it compares to traditional frameworks like Express.
What is SvelteKit?
SvelteKit is the official application framework built on top of Svelte, which is known for its performance and the way it compiles components to highly optimized vanilla JavaScript. SvelteKit extends this with server-side rendering (SSR), routing, and full-stack capabilities, making it an excellent option for both frontend and backend development.
Unlike traditional JavaScript frameworks that manipulate the DOM at runtime, Svelte compiles your application at build time. This leads to faster applications with smaller bundle sizes. SvelteKit leverages this power for dynamic web applications, but it’s also growing in popularity for backend development due to its modern features and simplicity.
