Vercel now automatically optimizes your [SvelteKit](https://kit.svelte.dev/) projects. When importing a new project, it will detect SvelteKit and configure the right settings for you.

In addition, [System Environment Variables](https://vercel.com/docs/environment-variables#system-environment-variables) are made available under the `SVELTEKIT_` prefix by default and you can now easily start new SvelteKit projects from the dashboard.

Check out [the documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/build-step#build-&-development-settings) as well.
