Write and run Swift language programs in the Cloud Written by the team of developers that has helped bring the Swift language to Cloud computing, this is the definitive guide to writing and running Swift language programs for cloud environment. In Swift in the Cloud, you'll find full coverage of all aspects of creating and running Swift language applications in Cloud computing environments, complete with examples of real code that you can start running and experimenting with today. Since Apple introduced the Swift language in 2014, it has become one of the most rapidly adopted computer programming languages in history—and now you too can start benefitting from using the same programming language for all components of a scalable, robust business software solution. Create server applications using Swift and run them on pay-as-you-go cloud infrastructure Quickly write and test Swift code snippets in your own cloud sandbox Use Docker containers to deploy Swift applications into multiple cloud environments without having to change code Grasp the elements and structure of the Swift.org open technology project Find out how to avoid the complexities of runtime configuration by using Cloud Foundry buildpacks for Swift Build high performing web applications and REST APIs with an open source Swift based web server framework Scale up your cloud services by running Swift modules in an asynchronous, open source, 'serverless' cloud environment Whether you are already using Swift to build mobile applications or a seasoned web developer, Swift in the Cloud will help you leverage server-side Swift to power your next generation of applications.

Get up and running with OpenStack Swift, the free, open source solution for deploying high-performance object storage clusters at scale. In this practical guide, Joe Arnold, co-founder and CEO of SwiftStack, brings you up-to-speed on the basic concepts of object storage and walks you through what you need to know to plan, build, operate, and measure the performance of your own Swift storage system. Object storage is essential today with the growth of web, mobile, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. This book helps you through the process, with separate sections on application development, installation, administration, and troubleshooting. Learn Swift’s concepts for organizing, distributing, and serving data Explore basic and advanced features of the Swift RESTful API Delve into Swift’s many client libraries, including useful Python features Write middleware to customize and simplify your storage system Understand requirements for planning a Swift deployment—including your specific use case Learn options for coaxing the best performance from your cluster Get best practices for daily operations, such as monitoring and planning capacity additions Pick up techniques for testing and benchmarking your Swift cluster

Learn how to use Swift on the server! Server Side Swift with Vapor introduces you to the world of server development with the added bonus of using Swift. You'll learn how to build APIs, web sites, databases, application servers and use Vapor's very own Vapor Cloud to host your solutions off-site. You'll use many of Vapor's modules such as Fluent, Vapor's ORM, and Leaf, the templating engine for building web pages. Who This Book Is For This book is for iOS developers who already know the basics of iOS and Swift development and want to transfer that knowledge to writing server based applications. Topics Covered in Server Side Swift with Vapor HTTP Learn the basics of how to make requests to and from servers. Fluent Learn how to use Fluent to save and manage your models in databases. Controllers Learn how to use controllers to route your requests and responses. Leaf Learn how Vapor's Leaf module and its templating language allow you to build dynamic web sites directly. Middleware Learn how built-in Vapor modules can assist with common tasks such as validating users, settings required response headers, serving static files and more. One thing you can count on: After reading this book, you'll be prepared to write your own server-side applications using Vapor and, of course, Swift.
