@pixel I’m not sure if this qualifies for what you want to do, but AWS API Gateway + Lambda externalizes the entire HTTP server component and your actual code is nearly, though not quite, just a single Swift function per endpoint. It does require a few Apple libraries + that whole AWS thing though

@mattiem oh that’s definitely more complex that I need. I’m more looking for url routing and maybe a fastcgi interface, not much else. Hummingbird I think is as close as I can get or write my own.

@pixel @mattiem that sounds interesting. I've bootstrapped a PHP project for a bare bones API recently with just basic routing, some config/environment variable setting in production, and I knew that this is well-explored territory for decades.

If you find something nice for Swift, I'd be very interested in your discovery :)

@pixel Yeah I’ve thought about using hummingbird myself. But now that I know how to use AWS it’s hard to move away haha

@mattiem I like things as thin as possible, with as few external dependencies as I can. I have a Linode server already, so this project will run on that :)
