Can you expand? I don't get how you can use SSR with another language than Node. I always thought one has to use the static adapter.

the backend svelte (node) can actually make calls to the separate api server and render a 'fuller' page to the client on page load.

I believe this is what is meant.

Requests are routed reverse proxy (Caddy) -> Vite (SSR) -> Python (Pyramid).

SSR calls your backend APIs and renders templates.

Example from SvelteKit page.ts here:

Some remarks

- page.ts is routed by Vite for every HTTP request for SSR and then it will fetch() data over backend API

- If rendered in the client, fetch() hits directly the backend API

- Both cases the template is rendered using the same logic (Svelte HTML templating, CSS, JS)

- You are going to need a template language any cases, like Django's one. Alternative way to think this is that SvelteKit is just a super powerful template engine.
