According to StackOverflow’s 2023 Developer Survey, Svelte is the most admired JavaScript web framework. To understand why many developers seem to admire this framework, we are going to examine how easy it is to deliver a regular web application experience using its streamlined framework, SvelteKit, together with Turso, the edge database, and my favorite ORM, Drizzle.
The website we’re building in this tutorial “Turso at the Polls”, is a poll making website that simply lets you create and run polls online.
Each poll has a limit of 10 choices and a maximum running time of 10 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes.
On completion, we are going to deploy the website to Vercel, specifically, on Vercel Edge Functions. Deploying the website to the Vercel’s Edge Functions complements Turso, which is an edge database since we’ll be placing both the compute and data close to users.
