Ephemeral backends for developers

Ancient philosophy, modern infrastructure

Datatekton is an ephemeral backend-as-a-service (BaaS) for mobile developers, built with Swift 6.2+ using the Hummingbird web framework and Oracle Database 26ai. Tables are dynamically created at runtime with auto-generated names inspired by Greek philosophers and Aegean islands — and they expire after 24 hours.

A practical exploration of Swift's server-side ecosystem, built with Hummingbird, Elementary, OracleNIO, OAuthKit, and SwiftKaze.
