Swift is emerging as a competitive option for server-side development, demonstrating notable performance improvement as highlighted in Cultured Code's case study. Transitioning from a Python 2 application to a Swift application on Kubernetes led to a fourfold increase in response times and reduced costs by three times. Nonetheless, Swift's integration in server environments faces hurdles like slow build times and limited adoption, which are hindering its broader uptake in this area. The use of Vapor and AWS infrastructure supports this promising shift.
Swift’s server-side capabilities, while exhibiting faster performance and lower costs, encounter limitations mainly due to slow build times and reduced adoption.
Cultured Code’s transition from Python to Swift enhanced cloud application performance significantly, achieving a fourfold increase in response times and a reduction in operational costs.
Despite the advantages, the cloud application rewrite prompts caution due to the limitations of the language's precedence and the need for robust library support for server-side development.
Utilizing Vapor and Kubernetes for the Swift application builds new functionalities that address previous inefficiencies without compromising on static typing advantages.
