Summary

Apple's introduction of the Swift AWS Lambda Runtime enables developers to write self-contained functions for AWS using Swift, the same language used for iOS development, thus allowing code sharing between server and client. Although setting it up can be complex, a starting point has been created to streamline the process of writing an HTTP service in Swift, utilizing the Serverless Framework for quick deployment to AWS. This setup includes configuration files and scripts that automate deployment, based on resources from swift-server/swift-aws-lambda-runtime. The initial code provided outputs "Hello, world!" and can be modified to deliver HTML content by adjusting the headers and body of the response. Details about configuration and available settings can be found in the Swift AWS Lambda Runtime README and Serverless.yml Reference, with opportunities for community contributions via GitHub.
