gitarena VS axum

GitArena - https://github.com/mellowagain/gitarena

GitArena is a GitHub/Gitea/GitLab clone written in Async Rust using Tokio and Actix-Web on the backend and server-rendered HTML with htmx for interactivity.

I commented on the "Who wants to be hired?" thread of this month with this being my main portfolio show-off project. It worked and I have gotten already 2 job offers now.

Hello! I'm Mari. I'm a self-taught software developer and have spent the past 10 years programming in my free time, mostly working on my own projects and contributing to open-source. I am currently working in retail and looking for a job as a software engineer in order to turn my passion into a living and getting a foothold in the industry.

My latest and greatest project I've recently been building is GitArena (https://github.com/mellowagain/gitarena), a software development platform similiar to the likes of GitHub, GitLab and Gitea. It features built-in vcs on top of Git and issue tracking, mostly focused on being able to be self hosted. It is written in Async Rust using Actix-Web running on the Tokio async runtime and PostgreSQL as persistent database. On the frontend it uses server rendered HTML with interactivity built in Vanilla JS and htmx. It also uses Semantic UI for CSS styling.

Thanks to my existing experience in retail, I'm very good at analyzing customer needs and can thus work efficiently on building and shipping customer-orientated solutions. I'm looking to take advantage of this in my future career.

Feel free to get in touch to learn more about me and my previous experiences.

There are some proposals on how to do it already such as https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/issues/1698.

Moreover, I especially like where Rust is right now in the web space. It really feels like there’s a lot of smart people working on the next generation of web development tools - it feels like the place to be. There are a range of great open-source web dev tools that are just reaching critical levels of maturity. Axum, which I used to build Prodzilla, feels ready for out of the box web dev, and is crazy-performant, as I write about later. More recently available is Loco, a Rails-like framework for building web applications in Rust that's picking up steam. And in dev-tooling and hosting there’s Shuttle, a 1-line hosting solution for Rust backends.

CryptoFlow is a full-stack web application built with Axum and SvelteKit. It's a Q&A system tailored towards the world of cryptocurrency!

You also get to specify the accepted HTTP method of the URL via axum::routing. To answer its name, modularity, Axum also supports nested routes as we'll see later in this series. Next is the layer, a method used to apply tower::Layer to all routes before it. This means that routes added after the layer method will not have such a layer applied to their requests. In our case, we used the layer to add tracing to all HTTP requests and responses to our routes. This is needed for proper logging. The tower_http::trace::TraceLayer can even be really customised.

I build simple rust axum api server with Prisma client rust. This is my something done with rust and I really enjoyed rust!

In this article we'll take a comprehensive look at how to use Axum to write a web service. This will also include the 0.7 changes.

You have a couple of options for the underlying web framework to pair with Leptos: Axum or Actix. Axum seems to carry more favour currently, so we start with that. Assuming you already have Rust set up on your system:

I’m the author of https://kellnr.io. When I started working on Kellnr three years ago, https://rocket.rs was “the web framework” to use. Unfortunately, the project seems dead. Before adding more functionality using an unmaintained framework, I want to port Kellnr to https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum.

Web Framework : axum.
