Ryan Token – Serverless Swift Controlling Philips Hue bulbs by running Swift on AWS Lambda.

New blog post!

I built an event-driven serverless back end entirely in Swift that remotely flashes the Philips Hue bulbs in my house whenever Tulsa or the Eagles score or win

Loved getting back into some technical writing. Check it out here: www.ryantoken.com/blog/serverl...

Introducing Swift Cloud - Swift Infrastructure as Code
YouTube video by Andrew Barba Introducing Swift Cloud - Swift Infrastructure as Code

Excited to show off Swift Cloud. An open source infrastructure as code framework for #swiftlang

Once you try it you won’t want to deploy server side Swift apps any other way

[Video] Deploying an Email System with SwiftCloud Easily deploy and connect AWS Lambda functions with SQS, DynamoDB and SES - all in Swift

Awesome. I've got a very different and Swifty approach to deploying Lambdas in my swift-cloud framework. Would love to have you try it: swifttoolkit.dev/posts/server...

Curious what experience is like with Heroku. Last I checked its solid but maybe theres things we could improve with infra-as-code

Awesome. I've got great support for AWS in swift-cloud and I've been actively working on Digital Ocean as the next provider I'm going to support. Can follow progress here: github.com/swift-cloud/...

What are some providers people are currently deploying or wanting to deploy server side Swift applications?

Here's something I'm very proud of with swift-cloud: github.com/soto-project...

Reproducing and debugging server side issues is challenging. How about a sample repo that includes both the infrastructure and the sample app in one spot. Just one command to deploy the entire app and start debugging

New in swift-cloud: deploy Valkey and Redis caches faster than you can login to the AWS Console. Correctly configured in private subnets and one line to authorize lambdas or web servers to access them

GitHub - swift-cloud/swift-cloud: Deploy Swift on Server with one command Deploy Swift on Server with one command. Contribute to swift-cloud/swift-cloud development by creating an account on GitHub.

Yes, but I'm taking a break from the managed platform to focus on the open-source sdk that lets you deploy to your own account first: github.com/swift-cloud/swift-cloud

I plan to make docs and tutorials around the open source sdk and then switch back to a managed experience later

Twilio A2P registration is a literal scam. $15 per submission and they will gladly reject it over and over for seemingly no reason. My most recent one: they said the URL I submitted didn't match the brand. The URL submitted was the brands home page, matching their email, terms of service, etc.

It is very real. I’m hoping to get proper tutorials out the door soon. But if you want to take a look and send early feedback please do

Deploying swift to server is still too hard. Folks are doing it. But probably deploying 1 thing maybe 2.

Any interest in tutorials deploying apps like this? A few lines of code gets you scalable infra with all the best practices. Full infra as code. No more clicking buttons in the console

To say skateboarding made me a better programmer is an understatement. How many things did you do growing up where your failure rate was much higher than your success rate, yet keep going? #skateboarding

"What we need is more people who specialize in the impossible." We did it. I remember brainstorming what feels like forever but was really only a short time ago. I've enjoyed creating & watching this all come to life. So grateful to work w/ such a talented team of designers, engineers & contractors

And just like that, with a couple clicks and a few extra lines of code, you can have infinitely scalable Redis for your Swift backend on @vercel.com
