I’ve seen many tutorials on how to build backend using swift, many frameworks available such as Kitura, Vapor, Perfect. Any ideas about them being ready for production apps?

I have the same question. Is there any products which uses swift as backend ?

[NSDateFormatter](https://nsdateformatter.com) was developed using Vapor.

I am curious to know more about production apps.

hi @msebgf,  
Swift is as ready for production as it is at this moment. There are other technologies that are easier to use or manage in comparison. However for simple REST API and simpler server tech, yes you can use swift.

Once the async functionality is added we could see a much richer and better experience. That’s my perspective on this.

cheers,
