This is a shameless plug, but I built Swift Cloud to help people build scalable backends in Swift: 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.

This 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?

Thanks 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.

I already created an account! I’m definitely going to use this the next time I need a little cloud function

Love to hear that! Always feel free to reach out if you have any questions or run into issues.

I have no use for this project, but this seems super cool!
