Hey there,You are correct that your only option to use Firebase in server-side Swift is to use the REST API. Some people on our team are kicking around the idea of an Swift SDK which works on the server-side, but currently there are no concrete plans to create that. The REST API definitely requires more effort than our client libraries (handling retries, latency compensation, etc.), but you can still get realtime streaming through the REST streaming API.Cheers,
Jacob

Hi,My team is developing an application that will require a decent amount of server side processing, hence, we will need to develop an App Server to connect to Firebase.Ideally, we would like to do this in Swift and therefore evaluating Vapor and Perfect. However, so far it appears there are compatibility issues (e.g. no Firebase support of OSX). Thus, it appears my only option right now is using the REST api ) to connect (e.g. curl , http) with Firebase from Vapor / Perfect server. I hesitate to use this since its my understanding that if we do this, we loose all the real-time / offline features that Firebase SDKs provide and thus less appealing to use Firebase.Is this correct assumption? Are there any alternatives (besides coding the server in java / javascript / etc)?Thanks
