Deploy guides

Deploy a SvelteKit app

Deploy a SvelteKit app from GitHub in about a minute. Rimbra detects SvelteKit, builds it and gives it a live HTTPS address, with a managed database, your own domain, an Email API and a WhatsApp API in the same account.

Deploy SvelteKit in six steps

  1. 01

    Push your SvelteKit project to a GitHub repository.

  2. 02

    Sign in to Rimbra, choose New project and import the repository. Rimbra asks GitHub for access to the repositories you pick.

  3. 03

    Rimbra sees a svelte.config file and runs npm run build, then serves the output. Change the root directory or the commands in Settings if your project needs it.

  4. 04

    Paste your .env into Variables. Every line becomes a variable, available on the next deploy.

  5. 05

    Deploy. The build log streams line by line, and your app goes live at your-project.rimbra.live (or .xyz or .click, your choice) over HTTPS.

  6. 06

    Optional: buy or connect a domain, and Rimbra points it at your app with HTTPS issued automatically.

What your app needs

Nothing special. Rimbra builds your project and serves the output over HTTPS.

package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "vite build",
    "start": "node build"
  }
}

SvelteKit on Rimbra

  • With adapter-node, set the start command to node build and SvelteKit reads PORT.
  • Connect a PostgreSQL or MySQL database to the project and DATABASE_URL is set for you, ready for pg, Prisma or Drizzle.

Questions

Can I host a SvelteKit app for free?

Yes. Rimbra’s Free plan needs no card and includes 4 projects, 1 database, 200 build minutes and 50 GB of bandwidth a month, with a free HTTPS address for each project.

Does every push redeploy my SvelteKit app?

Yes. Every push to your production branch builds a new version. It goes live only when it answers, so visitors never see a broken release, and you can roll back to an earlier build instantly.
