Swift (iOS/macOS) and Docker: Application Containerization

The book "Swift (iOS/macOS) and Docker: Application Containerization" is the first practical guide in Russian that combines the power of the Swift language and Docker containerization technology. If you develop for iOS or macOS and want to learn how to package your projects into containers, automate build, testing, and deployment — this book is for you.

What is this book about?

The book sequentially guides the reader from basic Docker concepts to creating production-ready containers for Swift applications. You will learn:

• Docker basics for a Swift developer — images, containers, Dockerfile, Docker Compose, working with networks and volumes.
• Building Swift applications in containers — compilation for Linux, using official Swift images, optimizing the final image size (multi-stage build).
• Containerization of server-side Swift frameworks — Vapor, Kitura, SwiftNIO: examples of Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml for real projects.
• Working with databases and caches — PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis in conjunction with Swift applications via Docker.
• CI/CD for Swift in Docker — configuring GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins for automatic building and publishing images to Docker Hub or GitHub Container Registry.
• Server deployment — deploying on VPS, in the cloud (AWS, Yandex.Cloud), orchestration with Docker Swarm and Kubernetes.
• Testing and debugging — running tests inside a container, profiling, logging.

Who is this book for?

• iOS and macOS developers who want to master server-side development in Swift and containerization.
• DevOps engineers working with Swift projects.
• Students and teachers studying modern application deployment methods.
• Anyone who wants to make their Swift projects more reliable, scalable, and easier to maintain.

What will you learn after reading?

• Write Dockerfile for Swift projects of any complexity.
• Organize multi-container architecture (web server + database + cache).
• Automate building and publishing images via CI/CD.
• Deploy Swift applications to production with minimal downtime.
• Use Docker for local development and testing on different Swift versions.

The book contains many ready-made code examples, Dockerfiles, and configurations that can be immediately adapted to your tasks. All examples are tested on Swift 5.9+ and Docker 24+.
