SwiftBlocksUI leverages MacroApp under the hood to provide a declarative "SwiftUI" like approach to creating interactive Slack "applications" using Swift.
MacroApp layers on top of MacroExpress which focuses on generating API endpoints in a fast, typesafe way.
MacroLambda acts as a middleware component for running MacroExpress apps as AWS Lambda Runtime executables.
Plugin for creating an AWS Lambda binary .zip using an AmazonLinux2 container via Docker.
Usage: swift package --disable-sandbox archive
