## Wait, what is SvelteKit?
Think of it as [Next](https://nextjs.org/) for Svelte. It's a framework for building apps with Svelte, complete with server-side rendering, routing, code-splitting for JS and CSS, adapters for different serverless platforms and so on.
If you're familiar with [Sapper](https://sapper.svelte.dev), SvelteKit is Sapper's successor.
## From Snowpack to Vite
One thing that might seem surprising after the [announcement video](/blog/whats-the-deal-with-sveltekit), in which I waxed lyrical about [Snowpack](https://www.snowpack.dev/), is that SvelteKit uses [Vite](https://vitejs.dev) under the hood. When we tried Snowpack back when we started thinking about what form SvelteKit should take, it was love at first sight.
