Hi,

I recently started working with **Svelte** and created a small app with **SvelteKit** where I added the **netlify adapter** for **netlify functions.** I also added the netlify.toml file with the specified configuration.

I noticed that the **functions** created in the **functions directory** are not deployed instead the **render function** is created and deployed, that contains all the logic from the endpoints.

1. Why **netlify** doesn’t recognize/deploy the **custom netlify functions** I created in the functions directory?
2. If I don’t use the **netlify adapter** where/how **the endpoints** run on the prod env?

Thank you!

It’s the adapter causing problems, not Netlify. Check this out: [https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/blob/master/packages/adapter-netlify/index.js#L16](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/blob/master/packages/adapter-netlify/index.js#L16). That line is deleting everything from the functions folder, so your functions are getting deleted too.

I’m not sure what you mean by this, possible because I’m not familiar with Svelte myself. But, I would suggest to open an issue on the package so they can help you out.
