I'll share my journey of building and deploying a backend for a startup that focuses on sending emails using Swift and Vapor framework. We'll go through topics you'll likely need to address to build a backend REST API, such as user authentication, analytics, error reporting, as well as using AWS products such as S3 storage, and even collecting payments using Stripe.

I hope to share a bit something interesting for everyone, especially iOS developers who are interesting in gaining more experience with server-related technologies.
