Awesome Vapor

Vapor is currently one of the most popular server-side Swift frameworks.

This is a curated list of:

• modern libraries that easily integrate with Vapor and follow Vapor’s philosophy of providing simple, clean yet powerful APIs;
• well-written tutorials, books, videos and education materials;
• tools to make your development process simpler and more enjoyable;
• and more!
