SvelteKit on AWS Amplify
AWS Amplify documents a generic path that covers SvelteKit, rather than a dedicated guide.
Svelte application framework that targets different deployment platforms through adapters.
What SvelteKit needs.
Every host claims to run SvelteKit, so the claim on its own decides nothing. These are the things SvelteKit actually requires from the platform underneath it, and what AWS Amplify publishes about each. AWS Amplify documents 3 of the 4.
Max request duration
15 minutes (maximum execution time of an SSR compute execution instance)
SvelteKit load functions and form actions run on the server per request, bounded by this ceiling.

“Execution instances are limited to a maximum execution time of 15 minutes, and the only writable path within the execution instance is the /tmp directory.”

Edge network
Supported
The adapter decides where handlers run. An edge network is what makes the edge adapters worth choosing.

Build allowance
1,000 build minutes per month at no cost with AWS Free Tier; $0.01 per minute for a Standard Instance thereafter
Prerenderable routes are resolved at build time, so build allowance scales with the size of the site.

“Build and deploy Standard Instance (8 GB Memory; 4 vCPUs) No cost up to 1,000 build minutes per month $0.01 per minute Large Instance (16 GB Memory; 8 vCPUs) n/a $0.025 per minute”

Scales to zero
Not documented
Adapter output is usually a function per route. Scaling to zero removes idle cost at the price of a cold start.
What AWS Amplify documents.
AWS Amplify documents a generic path that covers SvelteKit, rather than a dedicated guide.
You can deploy a SvelteKit application to Amplify using a community adapter. We do not maintain an Amplify owned adapter for the SvelteKit framework. Limited: support is documented only via a third-party community adapter that AWS links to but does not maintain.

SvelteKit features on AWS Amplify
Capabilities AWS Amplify documents specifically for SvelteKit, with the constraint it documents alongside each.

Not supported
You can deploy a SvelteKit application to Amplify using a community adapter. We do not maintain an Amplify owned adapter for the SvelteKit framework. However, an adapter is available at github.com/gzimbron/amplify-adapter on the GitHub website. This adapter was created by a member of the community and is not maintained by AWS.

What it costs to run there.
- Entry paid plan
- No monthly minimum — Amplify Hosting is billed per unit. A representative month for one small app, priced at Amplify's published rates: 100 build minutes ($1.00), 5 GB stored ($0.11), 100 GB served ($15.00), with SSR requests inside the free 500,000 — about $16.11. Our arithmetic on Amplify's rates, not a price Amplify quotes, and it moves with traffic: egress is 93% of it. Recorded without a magnitude for that reason.
- Pricing model
- Usage-based; pay for what you use, with no monthly minimum
- When you exceed a cap
- Billed automatically: pay-as-you-go with no monthly minimums; storage charges keep recurring until the app is deleted

- AWS Amplify Pricing ↗
“$0.01 per minute for a Standard Instance [...] $0.023 per GB per month [...] $0.15 per GB served [...] SSR requests are free up to 500,000 per month”

Whether it suits you.
Front-end apps deployed from Git onto AWS with usage-based pricing and no monthly minimum, including 1,000 build minutes and 15 GB of transfer under the free tier.
Consider something else if…
Egress beyond the free allowance is $0.15 per GB, which is the highest of the platforms compared here, and SSR compute is capped at 15 minutes.
