 SolidStart v2 builds a full-stack app on top of [Solid v1](/) and [Vite v8+](https://vite.dev). If you're currently using SolidStart v1, it's mainly a tooling and stability upgrade.
 
-What's new in SolidStart v2 is that it uses Vite's Environment API for client and server builds and therefore works with deployment plugins such as [Nitro v3](https://nitro.build) and the [Cloudflare Vite plugin](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cloudflare/vite-plugin).

 SolidStart is router agnostic, and can be used with either the official [Solid Router v1](/solid-router) or [TanStack Solid Router v1](https://tanstack.com/router/latest).

 ## Configuration
 
-Configuration lives in `vite.config.ts`. SolidStart configures the application and Nitro v3 supplies the server and deployment integration.
+Configuration lives in `vite.config.ts`. Start with the `solidStart()` plugin, which configures the application:
 
 ```tsx title="vite.config.ts"
 import { defineConfig } from "vite";
-import { nitro } from "nitro/vite";
 import { solidStart } from "@solidjs/start/config";
 
 export default defineConfig({
-	plugins: [solidStart(), nitro()],
+	plugins: [solidStart()],
 });
 ```
 
 If your app already has middleware, `solidStart()` also accepts a `middleware` option:
 
 ```tsx title="vite.config.ts"
 import { defineConfig } from "vite";
-import { nitro } from "nitro/vite";
 import { solidStart } from "@solidjs/start/config";
 
 export default defineConfig({
-	plugins: [solidStart({ middleware: "./src/middleware/index.ts" }), nitro()],
+	plugins: [solidStart({ middleware: "./src/middleware/index.ts" })],
 });
 ```
 
-Use the top-level `nitro` property for Nitro options such as deployment presets, prerendering, tasks, and WebSockets.
+To configure a production server runtime and hosting target, continue with [Deployment plugins](/solid-start/v2/guides/deployment-plugins).

+  Choose and configure a deployment Vite plugin for a SolidStart v2 app.
+---
+
+SolidStart v2 uses Vite's Environment API for its client and server builds. The `solidStart()` plugin configures the application, while a deployment Vite plugin integrates the server build with a production runtime and hosting target.
+
+Choose one deployment plugin. Nitro provides portable deployment presets, while the Netlify and Cloudflare plugins integrate directly with their respective platforms.
+
+## Nitro
+
+[Nitro v3](https://nitro.build/) supports multiple deployment targets through presets.
+
+```package-install
+nitro
+```
+
+Add `nitro()` after `solidStart()`:
+
+```tsx title="vite.config.ts"
+import { nitro } from "nitro/vite";
+import { defineConfig } from "vite";
+import { solidStart } from "@solidjs/start/config";
+
+export default defineConfig({
+	plugins: [solidStart(), nitro()],
+});
+```
+
+Use the top-level `nitro` property for deployment presets, prerendering, tasks, WebSockets, and other Nitro options. See the [Nitro configuration reference](https://nitro.build/config).
+
+## Netlify
+
+The [Netlify Vite plugin](https://docs.netlify.com/build/frameworks/framework-setup-guides/solidstart/) prepares the server build for Netlify Functions and emulates Netlify platform features during development.
+
+```package-install-dev
+@netlify/vite-plugin
+```
+
+Add the plugin after `solidStart()` and enable its build support:
+
+```tsx title="vite.config.ts"
+import netlify from "@netlify/vite-plugin";
+import { defineConfig } from "vite";
+import { solidStart } from "@solidjs/start/config";
+
+export default defineConfig({
+	plugins: [solidStart(), netlify({ build: { enabled: true } })],
+});
+```
+
+No SolidStart-specific adapter is required. Netlify detects SolidStart and can supply the build command and publish directory automatically. Its [SolidStart v2 announcement](https://www.netlify.com/changelog/2026-08-06-solidstart-2-on-netlify/) explains how the integration uses Vite's Environment API.
+
+## Cloudflare
+
+The [Cloudflare Vite plugin](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/vite-plugin/) runs the server build in the Workers runtime during development and prepares it for deployment to Cloudflare.
+
+```package-install-dev
+@cloudflare/vite-plugin wrangler
+```
+
+Map the Worker to SolidStart's `ssr` environment:
+
+```tsx title="vite.config.ts"
+import { cloudflare } from "@cloudflare/vite-plugin";
+import { defineConfig } from "vite";
+import { solidStart } from "@solidjs/start/config";
+
+export default defineConfig({
+	plugins: [cloudflare({ viteEnvironment: { name: "ssr" } }), solidStart()],
+});
+```
+
+The `viteEnvironment` option merges the Workers runtime configuration with SolidStart's server environment. Follow the Cloudflare guide to add a Wrangler configuration and any platform bindings.
