Swift on the server is serious business now, and this official blog post cements this even further, for TelemetryDeck and the Swift community as a whole.

TelemetryDeck is managing the data of over 16 million people every month, helping thousands of app publishers improve their products, and we’re doing it all with a Swift-based infrastructure.
