About this episode
SummaryIn this episode, Simon Holthausen from the Svelte team joins to discuss remote functions and async Svelte, twoexperimental features that are changing how developers interact with data in SvelteKit applications. Remotefunctions offer a new RPC-like approach that provides better type safety, more granular data loading, andimproved developer experience compared to traditional load functions and form actions. The conversationcovers the technical implementation, design decisions, and future possibilities including caching, streaming, andintegration with Svelte's upcoming resource API. Simon also explains how async Svelte enables top-level awaitin components with coordinated loading boundaries, making asynchronous work much easier to manage in bothSSR and SPA contexts.LinksRemote Functions DocumentationRemote Functions Video by SimonFollow-up Video by SimonPicksSimon: Elgato Wave MicrophoneKevin: CalDigit Thunderbolt 5 Dock TS5 Plus
