> I'm even using Kit to build out simple REST API endpoints, it's so simple.
YUP. SvelteKit is one of the things that made me throw out my 3 tier (3 repo) project boilerplate. I mean I always knew I was slowing myself down (I'd look out the window and see all the Rails kids frolicking wild and free, not a care in the world), but I just didn't feel like I could trust my API code to Nuxt for some reason. I don't know what it was. Nuxt 3 is much better since they explicitly call out API routes but...
SvelteKit properly making space for API endpoints and being so light that I felt I could just pop a few endpoints in there and it absolutely broke that barrier for me. Now I quite often mix back and frontend, and even streaming endpoints are fine too (they added support for streaming responses).
