# Svelte.

Svelte is a frontend framework that compiles components to direct DOM operations at build time rather than shipping a runtime and diffing at execution. The result is smaller bundles and less framework code in the browser, with a component syntax closer to plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

## Where Svelte fits on a long engagement.

Svelte's value is most obvious where the bundle is the bottleneck: interfaces on poor connections, embedded widgets loaded inside someone else's page, or applications where a first paint on a mid-range phone is a business metric rather than a preference. Shipping less framework is a structural advantage there, not a micro-optimisation.

The honest counterweight is ecosystem depth. For any given need there are fewer mature Svelte libraries than React equivalents, and a smaller pool of specialists who have run a large Svelte application in production. On a codebase expected to live five years that is a genuine consideration, and it is the right conversation to have at scoping rather than in year two.

## What an assigned team does with Svelte.

Choosing a smaller ecosystem makes continuity of the assigned specialists more valuable, not less. Where fewer answers are a search away, the people who already know the codebase are the ones who make it move, which is an argument for a standing assignment over rotating capacity.

We do not arrive with a preferred framework and propose a rewrite. Where a stack genuinely is the constraint we will say so with a reason, and where it is not, the right answer is usually specialists who know what you already run. That posture is set out in [how we scope and assign](https://azendo.co/why-thailand/).

## What we use Svelte for.

* Interfaces where bundle size is a business metric Consumer-facing pages on mid-range devices and poor connections, where framework weight shows up in conversion.
* Embedded widgets in third-party pages Components dropped into someone else's site, where a large runtime is not yours to impose.
* SvelteKit for content-heavy products Server rendering and routing in one framework, so a marketing surface and an application surface share a stack.

## How Svelte capacity is assigned.

Svelte capacity is assigned under [outsource software development services](https://azendo.co/services/software-development/), and matched to the stack you already run rather than proposed as a migration.

## Roles we assign Svelte for

* [Frontend Developer Software development](https://azendo.co/services/software-development/frontend-developer/)

## Service lines it sits in

* [Software development](https://azendo.co/services/software-development/)

Capacity is agreed as a committed monthly capacity across a discipline, not per skill.
