Server Side Swift - IBM Kitura with OpenShift
summary
Kitura runs Swift 5.1 server code packaged as an IBM Docker image (IBM.com/kitura) and deployed to OpenShift via image stream + oc new-app; demo shows a running pod that answers GET/POST/health JSON endpoints and returns JSON, plus a health/timestamp endpoint. App uses Swift Package Manager or CocoaPods, connects to Postgres via async pools, and compiles with swift build into an executable. Performance claims: low memory and very fast response versus Java/Node/Ruby; Capital One uses Kitura in production and RHEL8 image support is planned.
