Svelte

What is it?

Svelte is a component-based frontend framework that differs from traditional frameworks by shifting work from the browser to the build step. Instead of shipping a runtime, Svelte compiles components into efficient JavaScript.

What does it do?

Svelte enables building reactive user interfaces with minimal code. It provides built-in reactivity, scoped styles, transitions, and state management without external libraries or complex boilerplate.

Where is it used?

Svelte is used in high-performance web applications, dashboards, content-driven sites, SaaS frontends, and projects where bundle size, speed, and simplicity are critical.

When & why it emerged

Svelte was created by Rich Harris and gained traction around 2019 as developers sought alternatives to runtime-heavy frameworks. It emerged to reduce complexity and improve performance by rethinking how frameworks work.

Why we use it at Internative

We use Svelte for frontend projects that prioritize performance, simplicity, and fast user experiences. Its compiler-based approach allows us to deliver lightweight, maintainable interfaces with minimal overhead.
