Why Alchemy?

Swift on the Server is exciting but relatively nascant ecosystem. Building a backend with it can be daunting and the pains of building in a new ecosystem can get in the way. Alchemy gives you modern, robust, Swifty APIs for everything you need to build a production-ready backend such as…
  • 🚦 Simple, fast routing engine.
  • 📦 Powerful dependency injection container & plugins.
  • 🚀 Robust background job queues.
  • 🐘 Database agnostic ORM with migrations & extensible relationships.
  • ⏱️ Cron-like task scheduler.
  • 📄 Clean, declarative service configurations.
  • 🧪 Expressive testing APIs.
Alchemy is powered by SwiftNIO and the blazingly fast Hummingbird framework so that out of the box you can integrate existing Swift on the Server code. Stay focused on building your next amazing project in modern, Swifty style without sweating the details.
