  Kitura was an open source web framework for server-side Swift, originally
  developed by IBM, that allowed developers to use Swift for building web
  applications and REST APIs with support for databases, WebSockets, and
  OpenAPI. The project is now archived and no longer actively maintained,
  but remains a useful historical reference for server-side Swift API
  development.
