🏎️ While Swift was originally created for iOS/macOS apps, many might not realize that at Apple we run Swift on the server to operate massive services, on Linux, serving billions of requests per day. Check out our VP's keynote at AWS re:Invent for details youtu.be/JeUpUK0nhC0?...

For the Radxa Snapdragon, you should be able to run our tools there through a .deb file, .rpm or similar installation method. ARM64 works well, though our Swift libraries are currently focussed on NVIDIA GPUs. RISCV is on our roadmap too, that requires more effort & testing.

Big Hummingbird 2 improvement 🎉 We've managed to speed up your typical HTTP response by 25%, by batching writes into the network stack. This change, while small, increases the req/sec by 25%, and reduces the latency to a response by the same 25%. All that at 165K req/sec, in only ~20MB of RAM
