alchemy VS swift-crypto

I'm curious if anyone has played with Alchemy.

Hey r/swift, after years of lurking here I’ve got something to contribute! Over the recent year I’ve been working on a web framework for everyone’s favorite language. Its focus is on clean,‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎­elegant, full featured APIs and sharing code between Swift clients and server. There are a couple quickstart projects in there (including one that’s Fullstack; iOS, Backend, Shared all in a single Xcode Project!) to peruse. There’s also a ton of docs that are geared towards fellow Swifters who are just getting started in backend dev. Would love for you guys to check it out and give feedback! https://github.com/alchemy-swift/alchemy

```

There’s also a bunch more examples of APIs around QueryBuilder, Caching, Jobs, Queues, Redis, Commands, Authentication, Middleware etc[1]. And everything will be converted to async/await in the coming days.

It's aimed to be an alternative, vapor is great and super customizable but I wanted to create something that was a little more "convention over configuration" so that out of the box things were a little more simple to follow and get going, if you are willing to do it the Alchemy "way of doing things". For example the ORM models can be super light weight,if you name the database table columns after the CodingKeys of the model.

Alchemy is a recently released Swift web framework.

Are you aware of SwiftCrypto (granted it is missing some capabilities)?

swift-crypto is open source, not closed source. I dont work at Apple, but I’m a contributor: https://github.com/apple/swift-crypto/graphs/contributors

Apple is investing a lot in it, but Swift is much younger than Rust (especially as an open source project). There is a working group that meets every few weeks to shepherd the various projects. Most of the recent activity has been (AFAICT) about orchestration. Well, that and transitioning projects to use async/await and structured concurrency. Here's some recent activity in the Swift on server space:

- the proposal for distributed actors is currently in-review (https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals...)

- a metrics API for backends like Graphite, Prometheus, etc. (https://github.com/apple/swift-metrics)

- HTTP/2 support for SwiftNIO (https://github.com/apple/swift-nio-http2)

- a new service discovery API (https://github.com/apple/swift-service-discovery)

- a new distributed tracing API (https://github.com/apple/swift-distributed-tracing)

- a Linux implementation of Apple's CryptoKit API on top of BoringSSL (https://github.com/apple/swift-crypto)

I'm not pretending that it's taking the server-side world by storm, but there is a fair amount of ongoing activity Personally, I'm using it for a couple personal projects and it's been solid, but I'm already a macOS developer, so it wasn't a big stretch for me to reach for it.

This doesn’t exactly answer your question, but you could always use swift-crypto for RSA.
