> I think Serverless would be another ideal use-case for Swift, where the productivity, clarity and correctness tools it offers would be a huge benefit. I agree, but sadly none of the big cloud providers has any interest in pushing it - Google's got Go, AWS and Azure seem focused on Typescript.
I know AWS lets you just deploy a docker container, so you can use whatever tools you want -- anyone know about Azure and Google cloud?
I'm running Swift server side on Azure. You simply package it in a docker container and run it in an appservice. The only problem really is not having native blobstorage support (like AWS S3) but I wrote an opensource implementation that supports the basics at least. Im not going to plug the library here however coz its far from finished :)
