SwifterPM: faster Swift package resolution for generated, Bazel, and Buck2 projects

Our users kept telling us that resolving Swift packages was slow, and that the directories where they get resolved ate gigabytes of disk. That pain has only grown as people run several agents across worktrees at once. So we built SwifterPM. It leaves resolution to the Swift Package Manager and speeds up everything around it: fetching the pinned sources, putting them on disk, and reading their manifests. Starting today it's the default for Tuist generated projects, with an environment variable to opt out, and it ships as a rule for Bazel and Buck2.

Interview with Franz Busch - We are now using Combine as our Reactive framework and it makes development so much better

Interview with Kamil Pyć - With Bazel we were able to reduce build times by 70% on clean builds

In this interview, we talk with Kamil Pyć, Senior Mobile Developer at Allegro. Allegro is one of the few companies that have undertaken replacing Xcode's build system with Bazel, and that led them to an improvement in build times of roughly 95%. In this interview, Kamil shares more about Bazel's adoption, and some other insights about their project and teams.

Interview with Donal O'Brien - We measure developer build times so that we can measure improvements and regressions

In this interview, we talk with Donal O'Brien from the core clients team at SoundCloud. He shares how they leveraged modularization, Tuist, and tools like Sourcery to overcome the challenges they faced while scaling the app. Moreover, he touches on some present challenges like developer awareness and the maintenance of the tools around the project.

Interview with Marek Fořt - The feature that I enjoy the most about Tuist is the clarity of manifest files

In this interview, Marek shares his experience at AckeeCZ adopting the Microfeatures architecture and how they use Tuist to codify the structure of their projects. He also talks about his stance regarding the usage of third-party dependencies, as how they approach testing to deliver code fast and with confidence.
