A complete toolbox and framework for building server-side applications, REST APIs, and web services entirely in Swift.
Perfect is a server-side Swift framework and application server that provides a complete toolbox for developing web applications, REST APIs, and mobile backends. It solves the problem of fragmented development by enabling engineers to use Swift for both client and server code, ensuring consistency and reducing complexity. The framework includes high-performance networking, database connectors, and utilities like WebSockets and template processing.
Swift developers looking to build server-side applications, REST services, or mobile backends without switching languages. It's ideal for teams already invested in the Swift ecosystem who want a unified development experience.
Developers choose Perfect for its comprehensive, all-in-one approach to server-side Swift, offering a robust set of built-in tools and connectors that eliminate the need for external dependencies. Its asynchronous, high-performance engine and modular design make it a scalable and maintainable choice for production applications.
Server-side Swift. The Perfect core toolset and framework for Swift Developers. (For mobile back-end development, website and API development, and more…)
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Built on a completely asynchronous networking engine, enabling scalable internet services with SSL encryption and support for HTTP, HTTPS, or FastCGI servers, as highlighted in the README.
Includes official modules for Redis, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and FileMaker, reducing dependency on external libraries and streamlining data integration.
Native integration for WebSockets and iOS push notifications through dedicated modules, making it suitable for applications requiring live updates and mobile backend services.
Organized into separate repositories for core libraries, data sources, and utilities, offering flexibility and support for Linux, iOS, and macOS environments.
The project is split across numerous GitHub repositories (e.g., Perfect-HTTP, Perfect-MySQL), which can complicate dependency management, version synchronization, and initial setup.
Perfect Assistant only supports AWS and Google Cloud deployments, with other options 'in the works,' potentially restricting hosting choices and requiring manual workarounds.
Compared to established server-side languages like JavaScript or Python, Swift's server-side community is smaller, resulting in fewer third-party libraries, tutorials, and slower issue resolution.
