Swift is no longer just for iOS. With the evolution of server-side Swift frameworks like Vapor, SwiftNIO, and the growth of Swift on Linux, Swift has become a powerful tool for building fast, safe, and scalable backend systems.

In this lecture, we will explore how to leverage Swift's performance-oriented design, strong type system, and modern concurrency model to build robust & high perfomance server-side applications. We'll dive into the reason why choosing Swift on the server side has many benefits , we'll discuss best practices for asynchronous programming with Swift's async/await, and showcase techniques for maximizing throughput and minimizing latency in production environments.

Whether you're coming from a mobile development background or already working in backend engineering, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to build Swift-based servers that are as performant as they are elegant.
