SvelteKit on Netlify
Netlify 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 actually requires from the platform underneath it, and what Netlify publishes about each. Netlify documents 2 of the 4.
Max request duration
60 seconds (synchronous); 30 seconds (scheduled); 15 minutes (background)
SvelteKit load functions and form actions run on the server per request, bounded by this ceiling.

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

- Edge Functions overview | Netlify Docs ↗
“All this dynamic processing happens in a secure runtime based on Deno directly from the worldwide network edge location closest to each user for fast response times.”

Build allowance
Not documented
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.
What Netlify documents.
Netlify publishes its own guide for deploying SvelteKit.
SvelteKit projects on Netlify benefit from automatic framework detection and have minor setup considerations for deployment.

SvelteKit features on Netlify
Capabilities Netlify documents specifically for SvelteKit, with the constraint it documents alongside each.
platform_adapter
Supported
To deploy a SvelteKit project on Netlify, use SvelteKit's Netlify adapter. This adapter deploys SvelteKit endpoints as Netlify Functions. For example, SSR routes are deployed to a render function.
edge_ssr
Limited
When you enable Edge Functions in SvelteKit, SSR happens in a Deno-based edge function that's deployed close to your site visitors. [...] If you use Edge Functions, you can't use the adapter's split feature. [...] Edge functions don't work locally. Currently, edge functions do not work as expected when running netlify dev with SvelteKit.

- When you exceed a cap
- Suspended: when credits run out every project is paused and visitors see a Site not available page, unless auto recharge is configured.

- How credits work — Netlify Docs ↗
“Once your credit balance is completely used up, all of your web projects (sites/apps) are paused and visitors to your web projects will find a Site not available page at each of your web project's URLs.”

Whether it suits you.
Teams that want Git-driven deploys onto a global CDN with a managed Postgres database built into the same platform. The free tier is 300 credits a month with a hard limit, so spend cannot surprise you.
Consider something else if…
You need to run containers or long-lived processes — Netlify does not document either.
