actix-extras VS houseflow

actix-identity 0.5.0 is an almost complete rewrite of the crate (massive changeset here).

you can use basic auth. You can do it from nginx too which I recommend as Ngix can act as load balancer, reverse proxy, tls endpoint etc. And nginx is stable too. You can use actix-web-httpauth too.

I used actix-web framework, but recently switched to axum in one of my projects, and it's really nice, the community is very helpful, and there's a good documentation, I don't like few things in actix-web, for example if you want stable you need to use old Tokio 0.x, while most crates are now running 1.x, and those aren't compatible with each other. Axum is also much more modular, it uses few existing crates such as hyper, http and etc, where actix-web makes it's own actix-http. If anyone is interested, here's the project I'm talking about.

Rust supports web development really well. I used actix-web framework, but recently switched to axum in one of my projects, it's really nice, the community is very helpful, and there's good documentation. If anyone is interested, here's the project I'm talking about.
