summary
Swift on the server is now a viable backend option: Swift-NIO and the Swift Server Workgroup deliver a standardized networking layer, official Docker images, logging and metrics; there are 11,000 packages on SPM and frameworks Kitura Perfect and Vapor see production use. Companies report results: Allegro rewrites its ecommerce platform on Vapor and cuts costs, Ask Mercedes runs Kitura-backed AR at global scale, ING’s banking-of-things core runs Kitura at 0.4% CPU and ~25 MB RAM. Swift compiles fast and keeps a small memory footprint.
