BACKGROUND

Swift is an open-source language introduced in 2014 by Apple and is mainly used within the Apple ecosystem for client-side development. This thesis will explore the efficiency of using Swift for server-side development, focusing on the new cross-compilation feature in Swift 6 that allows for static binary deployment on Linux. The primary objective is to compare Swift’s performance, deployment processes, and maintenance overhead with other server-side technologies such as Node.js, Python, and Java. The research aims to provide insights into the advantages and challenges of using Swift for server-side applications, contributing to the broader discourse on modern server-side technologies.

TASK

Depending on your interests or previous experience, the thesis could focus on different aspects. You could, for example:

• Compare the execution speed and resource efficiency (CPU, memory usage) of server-side applications written in Swift and other common language stacks such as Node.js, Python, and Java. You could create or use existing benchmarks that involve common server-side tasks such as handling HTTP requests, processing data, and database interactions.
• Evaluate the deployment processes for server-side applications developed in Swift (focusing on the cross-compilation and static binary deployment feature of Swift 6) compared to other languages. This could involve comparing the complexity of setting up a deployment pipeline, the time required to deploy updates, and the compatibility of these applications across different server environments, particularly Linux.
