The first alpha release of Vapor 3 is finally here! 🎉
⚠️ Beware that the APIs are still in flux and documentation is in progress. Alpha releases are not for the feint of heart.
Vapor 3 has been rewritten from the ground up with the following goals in mind:
- Take deeper advantage of Swift's unique features to make a distinctly Swift development experience
- Learn from what worked (and didn't work) in previous releases to create a resilient, reliable, and stable API going forward
- Great documentation both in the source code itself (API docs) and online (getting started, guides, and tutorials).
The biggest changes you will notice are around:
- Async/nonblocking: Expect improved performance and incredible concurrency thanks to promises and our new multi-reactor pattern.
- Swift config: No more
.jsonfiles. Enough said. - Codable: No more
Node,Row, etc. Less boilerplate and type conversions means faster code with fewer bugs.
A full migration guide and release notes will come with the official release.
