Deploying SvelteKit to Cloudflare Workers for Free

For years, deploying a full-stack web app meant either paying for a VPS or wrestling with complex container orchestration. Cloudflare Workers changes that. You can run SvelteKit with server-side rendering, API routes, and edge caching, all without spending a dime on the generous free tier. This guide walks through the exact setup I use for this site. No theoretical fluff, just working configuration. What you get for free Cloudflare's free tier is surprisingly capable: 100,000 requests/day — enough for most personal projects and small sites 10ms CPU time per request — SvelteKit runs comfortably within this 1 GB of KV storage — for simple config or session data Custom domains — connect your own domain at no extra cost Compare this to Vercel's hobby tier (limited to 10s serverless function duration) or Netlify's build minute limits. Workers' V8 isolate model means faster cold starts and more predictable pricing if you ever need to scale. Prerequisites Node.js 18+ installed A Cloudflare ac
