Once you've built your server applications, how do you go about testing and actually releasing them? Our next speaker, Simon Pilkington, is going to show us how to do just that!

Have you written about Server-Side Swift on a blog, made a video, posted about it, or made a new project?

Let me know! I'll try to share it during my presentation at the Server-Side Swift conference!

Moritz just released Swift-OTel 1.0.0. After years of adoption in production systems, this marks the first fully stable version!

This release finally simplifies the API and brings it in line with modern Swift concurrency standards. Incredible work!
