Svelte
Compiler-based framework that shifts work from runtime to build time.
Svelte is a modern JavaScript framework that takes a radically different approach from React and Vue. Instead of using a virtual DOM at runtime, Svelte shifts work to compile time, generating efficient, imperative code that directly updates the DOM. This results in smaller bundle sizes and faster runtime performance.
We use Svelte for projects where bundle size and runtime performance are critical priorities, such as embedded widgets, mobile-first applications, and interactive visualizations that need to feel instant. Svelte's minimal overhead makes it ideal for performance-sensitive projects where every kilobyte matters. Its simplicity also makes it an excellent choice for rapid prototyping and MVPs.
What we use it for
- Performance-critical interactive applications
- Embeddable widgets and components
- Data visualization dashboards
- SvelteKit full-stack applications
- Progressive web applications
- Rapid prototypes and MVPs
What it gives us
- Compile-Time OptimizationNo virtual DOM overhead. Svelte compiles components to minimal, efficient JavaScript at build time.
- Minimal BoilerplateWrite less code with reactive declarations, automatic subscriptions, and concise template syntax.
- SvelteKit FrameworkFull-stack capabilities with SSR, SSG, file-based routing, and edge deployment built in.
- Scoped StylesCSS is scoped to components by default, preventing style leaks without CSS-in-JS overhead.
