Intro to Serverless Computing with Swift

on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

Claims that Swift functions run as serverless actions on common platforms and that OpenWhisk and the Serverless Framework let developers deploy them with CLI and web GUIs. Demonstration shows a Swift hello action created with wsk, invoked with and without parameters, and returning JSON. Notes that Mercury was redeployed to AWS Lambda and handles 500,000 to about a million requests a month for free. Mentions Apache OpenWhisk and IBM Cloud Functions, language support for Swift, JavaScript, Ruby, Java, and Python, and that functions run statelessly and scale elastically.
