Here is a quick guide on how to get a SvelteKit app live on a decentralized network in just a few minutes.
Why Use a Decentralized Network?
- Cost Efficiency: You aren't paying for massive corporate overhead. For the same CPU and RAM, the cost is a fraction of what you’d pay on a standard PaaS.
- Global Redundancy: Your app isn't tied to one data center. It is spawned across multiple independent nodes globally. If one node goes down, the network routing keeps your site live.
- No Vendor Lock-in: It is built on open standards, meaning you own your deployment flow without being trapped in a specific ecosystem.
Step 1: Prepare your SvelteKit Project
Standard SvelteKit projects work perfectly. Just ensure your package.json includes the standard build and start scripts so the network knows how to handle the lifecycle:
"scripts": {
"build": "vite build",
"preview": "vite preview",
"start": "node build"
}
Note: If you are using SSR, make sure you are using @sveltejs/adapter-node or a compatible adapter.
Step 2: Configure the Deployment
The goal of "Deploy with Git" is to keep things simple. You don't need to manage complex server configurations. You just need to point the network to your repository.
I used this boilerplate guide:
github.com/RunOnFlux/deploy-with-git/tree/master/deploy-svelte
Step 3: Connect and Push
- Go to the Flux Cloud Dashboard.
- Select Deploy with Git.
- Paste your GitHub/GitLab repository URL.
- The network will automatically detect the environment, build your project, and distribute it across the global nodes.
Once it is live, every time you push to your main branch, the network detects the commit and updates your app automatically. If a build fails, it stays on the last working version so your users never see a 404.
