SvelteKit on Cloudflare Pages

Cloudflare Pages publishes its own guide for deploying SvelteKit.

Compare Cloudflare Pages with

Svelte application framework that targets different deployment platforms through adapters.

01.

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 Cloudflare Pages publishes about each. Cloudflare Pages documents 3 of the 4.

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.

  • Limits — Cloudflare Pages Docs ↗

    “Build limits depend on your plan: Free Pro Business Builds 1 build at a time 5 concurrent builds 20 concurrent builds Builds per month 500 5,000 20,000 Builds will timeout after 20 minutes.”

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.

The requirement and the reason it matters are ours. Every value beside them was read from Cloudflare Pages's own pages — expand a source to see the sentence it came from.

What it costs to run there.

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.

  • Cloudflare Workers and Pages pricing ↗

    “The Workers Paid plan includes Workers, Pages Functions, Workers KV, Hyperdrive, and Durable Objects usage for a minimum charge of $5 USD per month for an account.”

  • Smart Placement · Cloudflare Workers docs ↗

    “By default, Workers and Pages Functions run in a data center closest to where the request was received. If your Worker makes requests to back-end infrastructure such as databases or APIs, it may be more performant to run that Worker closer to your back-end than the end user.”

04.

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.
