In the previous chapter, we learned how to write tests for our server-side Shopping List application. We also learned how to create an automated pipeline to run tests for our code so that we can maintain code quality and fix problems early on rather than discovering them later in production. In this chapter, we will look at how we can deploy our app to the cloud so that we can have it running 24/7 and access it via the internet from anywhere. We will also set up an automated pipeline such that our code will deploy automatically when the tests in Travis pass for our master branch. With this, our project not only has Continuous Integration (CI) but also Continuous Deployment (CD) setup, making it a lot easier for a team of developers to maintain a server-side Swift application along with a client-side iOS app without needing a dedicated Dev Ops team to ensure that...

Overview of this book
Making Swift an open-source language enabled it to share code between a native app and a server. Building a scalable and secure server backend opens up new possibilities, such as building an entire application written in one language—Swift.
This book gives you a detailed walk-through of tasks such as developing a native shopping list app with Swift and creating a full-stack backend using Vapor (which serves as an API server for the mobile app). You'll also discover how to build a web server to support dynamic web pages in browsers, thereby creating a rich application experience.
You’ll begin by planning and then building a native iOS app using Swift. Then, you'll get to grips with building web pages and creating web views of your native app using Vapor. To put things into perspective, you'll learn how to build an entire full-stack web application and an API server for your native mobile app, followed by learning how to deploy the app to the cloud, and add registration and authentication to it.
Once you get acquainted with creating applications, you'll build a tvOS version of the shopping list app and explore how easy is it to create an app for a different platform with maximum code shareability. Towards the end, you’ll also learn how to create an entire app for different platforms in Swift, thus enhancing your productivity.
