<div dir="ltr">Server-side Swift is not mature by any measure, but there are very vibrant groups building a few competing solutions, outside the IBM group. I've already built a low-importance, in-production server using <a href="https://github.com/qutheory/vapor">Vapor</a>. There's another group called <a href="https://github.com/Zewo/Zewo">Zewo</a> also building web frameworks and underlying technology. In an attempt to make the quickly-emerging frameworks pluggable into each other, these <a href="https://github.com/open-swift">spec-like</a> libraries were created. Another collection of frameworks in <a href="https://github.com/nestproject">nestproject</a>, which aims at standardizing the web server/web application interface.<div><br></div><div>There are many more projects, but I've contributed to these three and there are many very active people trying to create production-ready tools by the time Swift 3 is released. Again, you can already build servers today, but expect Swift and APIs to change frequently until Swift 3 drops. So if you'd like to contribute, these might be a good place to start.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, May 1, 2016 at 10:09 PM Dru Satori via swift-users <<a href="mailto:swift-users@swift.org">swift-users@swift.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Fwiw, I already have some swift code deployed in my internal server clusters.<br>

I wouldn’t use it in production for another couple years until the dust settles and gets battle tested in real-world production scenarios (think how long Node.js took to be adopted by enterprise companies). If Apple were to officially release a Swift server, it would definitely accelerate this process.<br>
