Vapor is a high‑performance, server‑side Swift web framework. It provides routing, middleware, ORM, templating, and WebSocket support for building APIs and web applications.
Use cases
- Build a RESTful API in Swift
- Create a server‑side web application with HTML templating
- Serve real‑time data over WebSockets using Swift
- Integrate a Swift backend with PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite via Fluent ORM
- Generate HTML emails with Leaf templates
When to choose
- You want to write backend services in Swift and share code with iOS/macOS clients
- You need a type‑safe, async‑await based framework with high performance
- Your team is already comfortable with Swift and wants to stay within the Apple ecosystem
When to avoid
- Your team lacks Swift expertise and prefers more common server languages
- You require extensive ecosystem libraries that are not yet available for Swift
- You need tight integration with platforms that only support other runtimes (e.g., .NET, JVM)
