Used Vapor/Swift in production for a good 2 years. While Swift is really one of the best languages out there, unfortunately it didn't work out. The problem was being strongly tied to macOS & XCode, and every update may or may not break your ability to deploy the server. Vapor itself seems to be always changing as well.

Inter-op with various web-services is often quite a headache too. Sometimes there's support for Swift or even an official SDK, but it's often not so straightforward to actually get it working. You're definitely in untreated territory here, and it shows.

So we moved NodeJS. I feel Node is a meme at this point, but man does it simply work. There are code snippets for everything and usually it doesn't take longer then 30min to figure out how to do something.
