Rather than adding a whole SvelteKit app, what if we just had a vercel.json with some redirect rules? The redirects will be much quicker if the Vercel proxy can take care of them without needing to run our code

[benmccann]

makes sense. according to the docs, this should work:

export default {
	async redirects() {
		return [
			{
				source: '/docs/:slug',
				destination: 'https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/:slug',
				permanent: true,
			},
			{
				source: '/:slug',
				destination: 'https://svelte.dev',
				permanent: true,
			}
		];
	}
};

though I'm not sure where to put such a thing. Do I switch to adapter-vercel and check it in here or do we just paste it into the Vercel web UI somewhere?

you put it in the root of the redirect app (honestly unsure if you need anything at all besides that)

[Rich-Harris]

If we can use vercel.json that would be better https://vercel.com/docs/projects/project-configuration#redirects

[Rich-Harris]

lemme try out a test project real quick

[dummdidumm]

Confident that we can just put up a vercel.json, which would be neat cause that means we can use that for kit.svelte.dev, learn.svelte.dev and the old omnisite (as shown in #535). Only preview site cannot use it because of the hashes.

Yeah, I just tried it out and it works, will open a PR

[benmccann]
