• Total platform for building Svelte apps
• Built in Vite.js
  • Includes all of the Vite goodness but it hides behind the scenes for the most part
• Host anywhere

05:16 - Is it CSR, SSR, SSG, WTF?!

• All of the above. Uses adapters to control the output:

 kit: {         // hydrate the 
 element in src/app.html         target: '#svelte',         adapter: adapter() }  

09:45 - What you get out of the box

• File-based routing
• API routes
• Layouts and layout resets
