The Swift programming language is a popular choice for applications, but many engineers are less familiar with Swift’s capabilities for writing services. This session will explore why Swift is a great fit for services development, from memory safety to interoperability. It will also take a look at a specific service, Apple’s Private Cloud Compute, as an example of how these principles play out in real services.
