krugazor opened a new issue #94: Feature Request
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-runtime-swift/issues/94
 
 
   ### Please include necessary libs in the image to use PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQLite/...
   
   #### In other runtimes
   
   - PHP supports PDO (and many of its flavors)
   - Many other runtimes can just include it
   
   #### But Swift doesn't handle pg/mysql/...
   
   Natively? No. However, [libraries](https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Swift-Kuery-PostgreSQL.git) [can](https://github.com/IBM-Swift/SwiftKueryMySQL) [be used](https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Swift-Kuery-SQLite).
   
   Low level languages can be much more performant, and it would allow to share code with iOS/Android apps.
   
   #### Actually...
   
   Maybe they should be included in almost all of the runtimes. Accessing a DB is part and parcel of micro-services work, and actions would benefit from that as well, to avoid passing huge JSON files across a sequence.
   
   #### I know... Docker
   
   But it requires a different set of skills, plus pushing a container to DockerHub, etc... That's a lot of friction.
