# SvelteKit on Cloudflare Pages

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/stacks/sveltekit-on-cloudflare-pages/

Cloudflare Pages publishes its own guide for deploying SvelteKit.

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 requires from the platform underneath it, and what Cloudflare Pages publishes about each. Cloudflare Pages documents 3 of the 4.

| Requirement | Cloudflare Pages | Why it matters |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Max request duration | No limit for HTTP requests. A Worker keeps running as long as the client stays connected; Cron Triggers, Durable Object alarms and Queue consumers are capped at 15 minutes. | SvelteKit load functions and form actions run on the server per request, bounded by this ceiling. |
| Edge network | Supported — Cloudflare's network page advertises deploying to 330+ cities. | The adapter decides where handlers run. An edge network is what makes the edge adapters worth choosing. |
| Build allowance | 500 builds per month on the Free plan | Prerenderable routes are resolved at build time, so build allowance scales with the size of the site. |
| 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. |

### SvelteKit features on Cloudflare Pages

- **platform_adapter**: Supported — create-cloudflare will then install dependencies, including the Wrangler CLI and the SvelteKit @sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare adapter, and ask you setup questions. ([source](https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/framework-guides/deploy-a-svelte-kit-site/))

## What it costs to run there

|  | Cloudflare Pages |
| --- | --- |
| Entry paid plan | $5 / month account minimum |
| Pricing model | Metered usage with a $5 monthly account minimum |
| Regions | No region selection. Pages Functions run in the data centre closest to the request; Smart Placement can instead pin a Worker near a named cloud region, host or hostname. |

## Whether it suits you

Projects where the entire fixed cost should be a $5 monthly account minimum rather than a per-seat fee, and teams already running on the wider Workers platform. Billing is metered, so cost tracks traffic rather than headcount.

Consider something else if: Your repository is hosted somewhere other than GitHub or GitLab, or the free plan's 500 builds a month is not enough headroom.
