Kitura

Kitura is a web framework and HTTP server for server-side Swift. A project is set up with the Kitura command-line tool or as a Swift Package Manager dependency. The server is an executable that adds routes and starts listening on a port, and the Kitura guides cover Stencil templating for pages.

Kitura’s documentation lists PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite as supported SQL databases, and MongoDB through a third-party package. Swift-NIO is the default network engine. The Docker guide separates the Swift compiler image from the run image, because a compiled Kitura application does not need the compiler to run.
