While Swift has been on Apple devices such as the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and Apple TV, in the last few years it has started to reach the Linux Operating System. This has allowed Swift to move from clients to servers. Now we have several server-side frameworks such as Perfect, Kitura, and Vapor.
In this talk, Leo Dion goes into the details of developing with Vapor on the Mac to deploying onto the server. We talk about managing multiple processes in Swift-NIO, the Fluent ORM, serialization of data, and the setting up of routes and authentication. If you are interested in taking a deep dive into Vapor, you’ll want to check out this talk.
