In this talk we will discuss serverless functions, Edge functions, and handling data on the edge. We will also look at some sample code from a simple application.

Cloudflare has a unique developer platform and is a great option to host your SvelteKit app.
We'll show you how to get started and some of the lessons we've had running it in production.

There are dozens of ways to deploy an application. Options, like hosting on Vercel, are super hands off. You could take things into your own hands and manage your entire AWS infrastructure yourself. But what if you wanted a nice option in the middle?

Ease of deployment, while having complete control over your infrastructure?

I'll run through how SST fits in the above niche, and how we can use it to quickly publish a Sveltekit app that talks to DynamoDB tables.

I'll then touch on handling real-time data using Server-sent events, which are an underrated alternative to Websockets.
