Managing Pull Requests with Swift
summary
A Swift tool called PR Assigner automatically assigns reviewers for GitHub pull requests, written in Swift and running on AWS Lambda, integrating GitHub and Slack APIs and retrieving tokens from AWS Secrets Manager. It respects CODEOWNERS, checks Slack status to skip unavailable reviewers, is configurable via a repo YAML, uses Swift Package Manager and AsyncHTTPClient, and cuts time-to-first-review by ~39% while halving reviewers’ response time; it’s open source and used for iOS and web.
