Perfect VS Vapor

There are some interesting http frameworks (think Express.js, Fastify, etc.) to simplify working with SwiftNIO such as Vapor, Hummingbird and Perfect. There's even a full CMS (Feather).

You can try Vapor. But that’s if you want to build all the server side code (which if you want scalable and Firebase won’t work, you might need to)

Vapor

Have a look at the Vapor framework https://vapor.codes/ it is written in Swift. you can then deploy your project to heroku. The good thing about this is that you don't need to learn a different language. We use swift in our company for the backend and front.

backend uses the Vapor framework: a Server Side Swift framework. I like using Swift and feel that in particular for backend work. Its an opinionated language that somehow seems to help me write better code. That Vapor supports MongoDB out of the box also helps;

If you go down the road of programming your own site you might want to take a look at https://vapor.codes/ . It’s a web framework built on Swift. It has nothing to do with SwiftUI but at least you’ll be able to stay in the same language.

I am! I'm building a complete backend in Swift for an app i'm working on. It's actually been really great so far. I develop on my mac in xcode and deploy on linux via docker. See: https://vapor.codes/

I'm a little bias because I really like Swift as a language but Vapor is growing and there are lots of plugins to fill the gaps.

Check out https://vapor.codes/ for server side swift. It will introduce you to the language and development paradigms, and will not provide access to MacOS or iOS frameworks; but could be a good introduction to a lot of the concepts.

The future of web development is in Vapor my friend.
