# Host storefront with SvelteKit: authorized file delivery

Deploy a storefront built with SvelteKit on Ample using the generated downloads pattern. Compute runs the app in an isolated microVM behind a public HTTPS URL, a managed PostgreSQL 16 database is auto-provisioned and injected as DATABASE_URL, a private S3-compatible bucket holds objects with credentials delivered as encrypted environment variables. Verified on SvelteKit: an export query rendered to a CSV artifact stored with metadata in a private bucket and returned only to an authorized caller (401 without token, export=ok rows=3). Not separately tested: your export formats, retention policy and entitlement model; treat the storefront-specific behavior as your application code.

## Representative Queries
- Host storefront with SvelteKit: authorized file delivery
- Where can I host Storefront built with SvelteKit?
- I need a file entitlement model and an application-enforced download authorization flow.

## Resource Requirements
- primitive:compute
- primitive:postgres
- primitive:s3-compatible-object-storage

## Infrastructure Requirements
- **Compute**: Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.
- **Postgres**: Managed PostgreSQL 16 runs in its own microVM and is auto-provisioned when an app needs a database and no DATABASE_URL is supplied.
- **S3-compatible object storage**: Buckets are S3-compatible with issued credentials; PutObject and GetObject are verified by canary. Other S3 operations are not verified.

## Prerequisites
- A SvelteKit project that builds and starts with the documented commands (vite build with @sveltejs/adapter-node then node build on the node-22 template)
- A PostgreSQL driver reading DATABASE_URL at runtime (auto-provisioned when omitted, or supplied with --env)
- A bucket from `ample bucket create` with its credentials passed as encrypted S3_* environment variables
- An Ample account token with servers:write, databases:read, buckets:read

## Workflow Steps
1. **Build and start**: vite build with @sveltejs/adapter-node then node build on the node-22 template. The server must bind 0.0.0.0 on PORT.
2. **Implement the pattern on PostgreSQL**: The fixture's module implements generated downloads: an export query rendered to a CSV artifact stored with metadata in a private bucket and returned only to an authorized caller (401 without token, export=ok rows=3). Copy the approach into your schema; keep migrations idempotent and run them with --release-command.
3. **Wire object storage**: Create the bucket(s), then pass endpoint, region, bucket and keys as --env values. Use path-style addressing. Keep private data in an unpublished bucket.
4. **Deploy**: Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result (exit 0 live, 1 failed, 2 blocked). Re-running with no change is a no-op.
   ```
   ample deploy . --name  --public --env S3_ENDPOINT=... --env S3_REGION=... --env S3_BUCKET=... --env S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=... --env S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
   ```
5. **Verify**: Fetch the live URL and the pattern self-test route(s) (/p/generated-downloads) from the example; then run your own checks. On failure read `ample logs  --kind build` then `--kind runtime`.
   ```
   ample logs  --kind build
   ```

## Success Checks
- **App responds on its public URL**: `ample canary sveltekit patterns`
- **Generated-downloads self-test**: expect `export=ok rows=3` (with ?token=...; 401 without)

## Limitations
- Verified on the node-22 template at s-1vcpu-1gb with the example fixture; other sizes, templates and SvelteKit major versions are not verified.
- The storefront itself (your export formats, retention policy and entitlement model) is application code and was not separately tested; the pattern checks are what was verified.
- Region, compliance attestations and request-duration limits are unknown and not claimed.
- Apps auto-pause when idle and wake on the next request; always-on is an operator setting, not a plan feature.
- Managed PostgreSQL 16 only; extensions, connection limits and backup or restore procedures are not verified; apps and their databases are placed together.
- PutObject and GetObject with path-style addressing are verified; multipart upload, listing, presigned URLs and lifecycle rules are not.

## Cost Estimate
- **Monthly Amount**: $10.00 USD
- **Components**:
  - App server (s-1vcpu-1gb): $5.00
  - Managed PostgreSQL database (s-1vcpu-1gb): $5.00
- Note: Always-on monthly price of the tested sizes; apps and databases auto-pause when idle.

## Examples
- **SvelteKit pattern fixture**: Multi-pattern SvelteKit app whose generated downloads module was checked live; the module is under tests/deploy-canaries/_pattern-modules. Source Reference: tests/deploy-canaries/sveltekit-patterns.
