Perfect

Perfect now runs on Linux! Perfect now builds and runs on Linux with the open source release of Swift. Consult the readmes of the individual components for build instructions.

Perfect is an application server which provides a framework for developing web and other REST services in the Swift programming language. Its primary focus is on facilitating mobile apps which require backend server software. It enables you to use one language for both front and back ends.

Perfect operates using either its own stand-alone HTTP server or through FastCGI with Apache 2.4. It provides a system for loading your own Swift based modules at startup and for interfacing those modules with its built-in request/response objects or the mustache template processing system.

Perfect now also includes a WebSockets server and support for handling your own server-side iOS push notifications.
