Deploy your Svelte app to DigitalOcean
Step-by-step deployment help for Svelte apps on DigitalOcean. We fix Svelte-specific deployment issues, configure DigitalOcean, and get your app live. From $19.
Svelte issues we fix before deploying
Common Svelte problems that affect DigitalOcean deployments.
Unprotected SvelteKit server routes
SvelteKit +server.ts endpoints without authentication checks. Since these look like regular files in the routes folder, AI tools often forget they're publicly accessible API endpoints.
Sensitive data in load functions
Server load functions returning sensitive data that gets serialized to the client. Everything returned from +page.server.ts load is visible in the page's HTML source.
Store subscriptions causing memory leaks
Manual store subscriptions ($: syntax works in components, but manual subscribe() calls in modules need explicit unsubscribe to avoid memory leaks).
Missing form validation
SvelteKit form actions that process submitted data without validating fields, types, or sizes — trusting whatever the user sends.
DigitalOcean deployment issues we check for
Common DigitalOcean problems that break Svelte apps in production.
App Platform buildpack fails to detect framework
AI-generated project structures with non-standard entry points or missing start scripts cause DigitalOcean's buildpack to fail during auto-detection.
Managed database connection pool exhaustion
AI tools create a new database connection per request instead of using a connection pool, exhausting DigitalOcean's managed database connection limits quickly.
Droplet firewall not configured
Freshly provisioned Droplets have all ports open by default. AI deployment scripts skip firewall configuration, exposing SSH, database, and admin ports publicly.
Spaces CDN CORS not configured
DigitalOcean Spaces requires explicit CORS headers for browser-based uploads. AI-generated frontend code fails silently when uploading files directly to Spaces.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deploy a Svelte app to DigitalOcean?
We handle Svelte deployments to DigitalOcean end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your Svelte project, then we configure DigitalOcean, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What Svelte issues affect DigitalOcean deployments?
Svelte projects commonly have unprotected sveltekit server routes and sensitive data in load functions. On DigitalOcean, these combine with app platform buildpack fails to detect framework and managed database connection pool exhaustion to cause deployment failures.
Can SpringCode deploy my Svelte project to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We specialize in deploying Svelte applications to DigitalOcean. We audit your codebase for Svelte-specific issues, configure DigitalOcean correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does Svelte deployment to DigitalOcean cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all DigitalOcean deployment blockers in your Svelte project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
