 Put the code to query your database in [endpoints](/docs#routing-endpoints) - don't query the database in .svelte files. You can create a `db.js` or similar that sets up a connection immediately and makes the client accessible throughout the app as a singleton. You can execute any one-time setup code in `hooks.js` and import your database helpers into any endpoint that needs them.

+## Middleware
+
+The adapter exports a [Express](https://github.com/expressjs/expressjs.com) /
+[Polka](https://github.com/lukeed/polka) compatible middleware function `(req, res, next) => {}`
+as well as a reference server implementation using this with a plain node http server.
+
+But you can use your favorite server framework to combine it with other middleware and server logic.
+You can import `createHandler()`, your ready-to-use SvelteKit bundle as middleware, from `./build/handler.js`.
+
+```
+import { createHandler } from './build/handler.js';
+import express from 'express';
+
+const app = express();
+
+var myMiddleware = function (req, res, next) {
+  console.log('Hello world!');
+  next();
+};
+
+app.use(myMiddleware);
+
+app.get('/no-svelte', (req, res) => {
+  res.send('This is not Svelte!')
+});
+
+// SvelteKit
+app.get('*', createHandler());
+
+app.listen(3000)
