This whole thing feels like layers upon layers of complexity. Not to mention, the brittle aspects of any javascript project - immature, lack of robustness and dependability. Your stuff is working on Node v12? Good luck with Node v14 - both LTS versions. It is a shitshow. Let's keep Javascript inside the browser IMO.

SveltKit is literally 2 months old.

"What novel tools are you using to write web sites/apps?" ??? is that not the prompt

SvelteKit as a project is literally 4 months old (since announced), but Sapper (the predecessor) have been around for longer, and SvelteKit has been used on NYT's county-level COVID tracker. There will be some teething problems but it's definitely not a totally greenfield project.

Well, Svelte itself is a bit older than that. And of all the modern Javascript frameworks, Svelte has been, for me, the most joyful to work with.

However, to your comment, I agree - there's unnecessary amount of complexity in the stack above. For me, it's usually Svelte in front, with any server side application.
