New blog post!

I built an event-driven serverless back end entirely in Swift that remotely flashes the Philips Hue bulbs in my house whenever Tulsa or the Eagles score or win

Loved getting back into some technical writing. Check it out here: www.ryantoken.com/blog/serverl...

How does one get a chance to speak at a Swift conference? Asking for a friend

Excited to show off Swift Cloud. An open source infrastructure as code framework for #swiftlang

Once you try it you won’t want to deploy server side Swift apps any other way

What are some providers people are currently deploying or wanting to deploy server side Swift applications?

Here's something I'm very proud of with swift-cloud: github.com/soto-project...

Reproducing and debugging server side issues is challenging. How about a sample repo that includes both the infrastructure and the sample app in one spot. Just one command to deploy the entire app and start debugging

New in swift-cloud: deploy Valkey and Redis caches faster than you can login to the AWS Console. Correctly configured in private subnets and one line to authorize lambdas or web servers to access them

Twilio A2P registration is a literal scam. $15 per submission and they will gladly reject it over and over for seemingly no reason. My most recent one: they said the URL I submitted didn't match the brand. The URL submitted was the brands home page, matching their email, terms of service, etc.

Deploying swift to server is still too hard. Folks are doing it. But probably deploying 1 thing maybe 2.

Any interest in tutorials deploying apps like this? A few lines of code gets you scalable infra with all the best practices. Full infra as code. No more clicking buttons in the console

Can anyone explain why the Mini M4 Pro gets 64gb RAM but same chip on the MacBook Pro only gets 48gb?

To say skateboarding made me a better programmer is an understatement. How many things did you do growing up where your failure rate was much higher than your success rate, yet keep going? #skateboarding
I’m often reminded of this quick side conversation Seinfeld and Chris Rock had on skateboarding.

Someone could write a book on the idea but it’s better as a memorable 22s clip.

"What we need is more people who specialize in the impossible." We did it. I remember brainstorming what feels like forever but was really only a short time ago. I've enjoyed creating & watching this all come to life. So grateful to work w/ such a talented team of designers, engineers & contractors

And just like that, with a couple clicks and a few extra lines of code, you can have infinitely scalable Redis for your Swift backend on @vercel.com
