Deployment

ATS Screener is designed for Vercel but works on any platform that supports SvelteKit.

Vercel (Recommended)

The project is pre-configured with @sveltejs/adapter-vercel.

# install Vercel CLI
pnpm add -g vercel

# deploy
vercel --prod

Set Environment Variables

In the Vercel dashboard:

1. Go to your project > Settings > Environment Variables
2. Add your API keys:
   • GEMINI_API_KEY (required)
   • GROQ_API_KEY (recommended fallback)
3. Add your Firebase config (all PUBLIC_FIREBASE_* variables from .env.example)

Tip

Environment variables set in the Vercel dashboard are encrypted at rest and never exposed to the client. Server-side keys (like GEMINI_API_KEY) are only accessible in +server.ts files. PUBLIC_ prefixed variables are available client-side.

Netlify

# install the adapter
pnpm add -D @sveltejs/adapter-netlify

# update svelte.config.js to use adapter-netlify

# deploy via Netlify CLI or Git integration

Docker

FROM node:20-slim AS base
RUN npm i -g pnpm

WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json pnpm-lock.yaml ./
RUN pnpm install --frozen-lockfile

COPY . .
RUN pnpm build

FROM node:20-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=base /app/build ./build
COPY --from=base /app/package.json .

EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "build"]

Note

For Docker deployments, use @sveltejs/adapter-node and set environment variables via your container orchestrator (Docker Compose, Kubernetes, etc.).

Custom Domain

After deploying to Vercel:

1. Go to your project’s Settings > Domains
2. Add your domain
3. Follow the DNS instructions
4. SSL is automatic

Beyond the license, this project has a strong community expectation around visible attribution.

This is a solo-built project by a student developer who chose to open source it so others could learn from it and use it freely. Respecting that by keeping attribution visible is how open source communities stay healthy. Forks that strip credit and present the work as entirely their own will not receive support, contributions, or upstream updates from this project. Removing attribution and passing it off as your own work isn’t cool.
