The Awesome Server Side Swift List

A curated list of awesome Server Side Swift 3 projects.

Interested in contributing? Please see the Contributing section below. Please note that components targeting iOS projects will not be considered unless there is a clear use case for a server side implementation. Projects must also be SPM modules that can be included as dependancies, unless otherwise stated.

Thanks goes out to vsouza for the inspiration of his Awesome iOS list!
