Observability is critical to monitoring your applications. In the latest blog post Paul demonstrates how to set up your Vapor apps to work with OTel, which is quickly becoming the industry standard for observability! blog.vapor.codes/posts/otel-i...

Vapor (finally!) has a new merch store where you can buy t-shirts, stickers, hoodies and more! All proceeds go towards funding the development of Vapor! Check out the blog post blog.vapor.codes/posts/new-st... or visit the store at store.vapor.codes

We've recently released a plugin for VSCode to make it even easier to build Vapor applications! And even better this plugin was created by the open source community! Read about it here blog.vapor.codes/posts/vapor-...

An Introduction to Valkey-Swift by Adam Fowler youtu.be/RNVMM1p7jgU

We can relax! 2.3TB of recordings and footage backed up on the home server ready for editing

Slept for 15 hours, backed up all the footage from the conference to my server, time to breath! @swiftleeds.co.uk and editing this week

It's been an incredible year for the conference. We had attendees from 6(!) continents come together for an amazing 3 days of workshops, talks and meeting each other face to face. Thank you to all the volunteers and speakers, it's been truly special

2025 - that's a wrap #swiftlang #serversideswift2025

Wrote a thing. Can you believe it's been nearly a decade!

The conference has always been about bringing the community together and growing Swift on the server. So to help, we're dropping the price of the beginner workshop to just £25! This workshop from Apple will teach you everything you need to get going! Tickets - www.serversideswift.info/tickets/

Pro tip - support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/... If you have new AirPods Pro 3, they default to always some kind of ANC. You can make it possible to turn off completely using these instructions

🚨🚨🚨 The full conference schedule is online! 🚨🚨🚨 We've finalised the schedule on the website, and have another incredible lineup this year, including workshops! Next week is the last week for ticket sales so don't wait around!

The worst thing about running a conference - the CFP reviews. Honestly the calibre of talks submitted this year is very, very high. Going to be some very difficult decisions to make!

With the announcement of workshops this year, we have reopened the CFP until Friday to allow you to submit workshops! Have an idea of something server-related you want to teach? We're looking for all types, both beginner and advanced covering a range of technologies! www.papercall.io/serversidesw...

Some important information about the conference....

Super excited to welcome Binary Birds as our next sponsor! They provide full-stack Swift expertise so check them out if you're in need of development and consultancy! binarybirds.com

Excited to tick off one of the few conferences I've not done! Super thrilled to be at Swift Island to teach you everything you need to know about Passkeys and run a workshop where you build the front end and back end!

Super excited to welcome AWS as a sponsor to this year's conference! One of the biggest Cloud providers and plenty of ways to run Swift in the cloud!

Been a long time coming and excited to see this (finally!) hit 1.0

☀️ With the weather getting brighter every day here in the UK, it feels like a good time to share my sunscreen check shortcut. Set it up as an automation to get a notification each morning letting you know when the UV index suggests putting on some sun protection www.icloud.com/shortcuts/22...

As part of the @vapor.codes Vapor 5 work I've just finished migrating all the tests (all 517) to Swift Testing. So much nicer to write, easier to reason about and as an added bonus the test suite takes 13s instead of the minute before because they're parallel by default 🎉

Server-side Swift success stories, right from @serversideswift.info !

I say this with all sincerity f#!$ing finally! This is one guaranteed way to make me watch more Netflix

Recordings of talks at #fosdem2025 related to #swift #swiftlang are up. Excited to watch them this weekend. fosdem.org/2025/schedul... cc @0xtim.bsky.social @mikaelacaron.com
