Combining a SvelteKit Single-Page Application (SPA) with a Go backend offers a powerful, performant, and cost-effective stack. This approach gives you the rich, modern developer experience of SvelteKit for the frontend, while leveraging Go's speed, simplicity, and concurrency for the backend API. Here's a detailed breakdown of how to approach building such an application, drawing on community discussions and best practices.
