Overview of this book

Svelte is a modern JavaScript framework used to build static web apps that are fast and lean, as well as being fun for developers to use. This book is a concise and practical introduction for those who are new to the Svelte framework which will have you up to speed with building apps quickly, and teach you how to use Svelte 3 to build apps that offer a great app user experience (UX). The book starts with an introduction to Svelte 3, before showing you how to set up your first complete application with the framework. Filled with code samples, each chapter will show you how to write components using the Svelte template syntax and the application programming interfaces (APIs) of the Svelte framework. As you advance, you’ll go from scaffolding your project and tool setup all the way through to production with DevOps principles such as automated testing, continuous integration, and continuous delivery (CI/CD). Finally, you’ll deploy your application in the cloud with object storage services and a content delivery network (CDN) for best-in-class performance for your users. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to build and deploy apps using Svelte 3 to solve real-world problems and deliver impressive results.

To make our application accessible to others, however, we need to deploy it to a cloud service.

Applications can be deployed to the cloud in a variety of ways. Cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud offer a wide range of services that can be used to host applications, and you can architect very simple or very complex solutions depending on your needs.

The range of choice is especially large for JAMstack applications; because they are just static bundles, they can be served in dozens of ways.

As mentioned in the introduction to this book, one of the advantages of JAMstack applications is that they can be hosted by object storage services...
