This quarter we have two talks that push Swift way beyond the usual server territory — one team replaced their entire Spring Boot pipeline with server-side Swift, and another is running real-time object detection on NVIDIA Jetson hardware. In Swift.

Talks
Swift on the Edge: Real-Time Object Detection on NVIDIA Jetson
Mihai Chiorean
This one is a live demo. Mihai will show a real-time computer vision pipeline written in Swift, running on an NVIDIA Jetson edge device. RTSP stream ingestion, YOLO object detection with TensorRT, object tracking, live MJPEG streaming, and Prometheus metrics. If you ever wondered how far Swift can go when you point it at a camera and a GPU — this is your answer.
From Spring Boot to Swift: Rebuilding an AI Data Pipeline
Leonhard Solbach
What does it look like when a startup rebuilds a production AI data pipeline entirely in server-side Swift? Leonhard walks us through a system that dequeues tasks from Postgres, orchestrates multi-step LLM chains, web crawling, and data aggregation — running as stateless workers that scale horizontally. We'll see how Vapor, postgres-nio, and structured concurrency replace Spring Boot's annotation-driven machinery, and why the team ended up shipping faster because of it.
Whether you're into server-side Swift, AI pipelines, edge computing, or you just want to see Swift do things you didn't think were possible, come join us.
Join us Thursday, March 12th at 7pm (Berlin, Paris), 11am (Cupertino), 2pm (New York)!
