Introducing Swift (with Vapor) and Ruby (with Rails) Runner Support

Swift (Vapor) and Ruby (Rails) runners are now available on smbCloud.

Swift (Vapor) and Ruby (Rails) runner support

smbCloud now supports Swift with Vapor and Ruby with Rails runners. If you want to build or deploy in either stack, you can start without wiring up the runtime yourself.

Why Swift with Vapor?

• Safe and fast: Swift gives you strong typing and solid performance on the server.
• A practical web framework: Vapor is a good fit for APIs and web apps, especially if your team already likes Swift.
• Less setup: The runner gives you a working environment without extra runtime work.

Why Ruby with Rails?

• Fast to build with: Rails is still one of the quickest ways to turn an idea into a working product.
• Mature ecosystem: You get strong conventions and a large library ecosystem.
• Quick start: The runner lets you get a Rails app running without manual setup.

Key features

• Zero-config runners: Start with Swift (Vapor) or Ruby (Rails) without building the environment yourself
• Fast feedback: Run code and see output quickly
• Consistent environments: Use the same setup each time you start a project

Get started

Choose the Swift (Vapor) or Ruby (Rails) runner when you create a new project or workspace. It works for APIs, web apps, experiments, and early prototypes.

We want smbCloud to stay useful across different stacks. Swift and Ruby support are part of that.
