Vapor was selected for the third session of GitHub's Secure Open Source Fund, which was an awesome experience to learn with other maintainers how to secure our projects. We've already rolled out some changes with more to come in the future too!

ποΈ While Swift was originally created for iOS/macOS apps, many might not realize that at Apple we run Swift on the server to operate massive services, on Linux, serving billions of requests per day. Check out our VP's keynote at AWS re:Invent for details youtu.be/JeUpUK0nhC0?...
Observability is critical to monitoring your applications. In the latest blog post Paul demonstrates how to set up your Vapor apps to work with OTel, which is quickly becoming the industry standard for observability!

We can relax! 2.3TB of recordings and footage backed up on the home server ready for editing
Slept for 15 hours, backed up all the footage from the conference to my server, time to breath! @swiftleeds.co.uk and editing this week
It's been an incredible year for the conference. We had attendees from 6(!) continents come together for an amazing 3 days of workshops, talks and meeting each other face to face. Thank you to all the volunteers and speakers, it's been truly special

The worst thing about running a conference - the CFP reviews. Honestly the calibre of talks submitted this year is very, very high. Going to be some very difficult decisions to make!
With the announcement of workshops this year, we have reopened the CFP until Friday to allow you to submit workshops! Have an idea of something server-related you want to teach? We're looking for all types, both beginner and advanced covering a range of technologies! www.papercall.io/serversidesw...
Some important information about the conference....
Super excited to welcome Binary Birds as our next sponsor! They provide full-stack Swift expertise so check them out if you're in need of development and consultancy! binarybirds.com
Excited to tick off one of the few conferences I've not done! Super thrilled to be at Swift Island to teach you everything you need to know about Passkeys and run a workshop where you build the front end and back end!
Super excited to welcome AWS as a sponsor to this year's conference! One of the biggest Cloud providers and plenty of ways to run Swift in the cloud!
Developing Swift on server? Less than two weeks to submit a talk for @serversideswift.info, a conference taking place October 2/3 in London, UK that @0xTim.bsky.social is organizing once again this year! CFP closes July 10, 2025 23:59 UTC. www.papercall.io/serversidesw... #SwiftLang
