This is a shameless plug, but I built Swift Cloud to help people build scalable backends in Swift: https://swift.cloud https://swift.cloud
Behind the scenes we compile Swift to WASM and deploy to Fastly's edge network, Compute@Edge. At my day job we are using this in production and serving thousands of requests per second on our Swift app. Overall it's a lot of fun to deploy Swift on server, but the developer UX still leaves a lot to be desired. Running and testing locally is still non-trivial.
- pradn 4y agoThis looks great, good work! One tangential question: do you worry about using "Swift", which I assume is an Apple trademark, in the name of your product?
- andrewbarba 4y agoThanks so much. And short answer - Yes. My guess is it's a matter of 'when' I have to deal with this. I've had the domain for a while, and this is something I've wanted to build for such a long time. Things fell into place when I was able to build a Swift SDK for Fastly's platform back in January this year. The stubborn engineer in me went ahead and used the domain anyway and launched what you see today.
- pradn 4y agoGotcha, thanks for your answer :)
- danudey 4y agoI have no use for this project, but this seems super cool!
- sudoit 4y agoI already created an account! I’m definitely going to use this the next time I need a little cloud function
- andrewbarba 4y agoLove to hear that! Always feel free to reach out if you have any questions or run into issues.
