Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

I want to share my latest hobby project, dbeel: A distributed thread-per-core nosql db written in rust
I used glommio as the async executor (instead of something like tokio), and it is wonderful. For people wondering whether it's "good enough" or to use C++ and seastar (as I have thought about a lot before starting this project), take the leap of faith, it's fast - both in terms of run time and to code.

The State of Async Rust
My understanding is you always need a runtime, somethings needs to drive the async flow. But there are others on the market, just not without the.. market domination... of tokio.
https://github.com/smol-rs/smol looks promising simply for being minimal
https://github.com/bytedance/monoio looks potentially easier to work with than tokio
https://github.com/DataDog/glommio is built around linux io_uring and seems somewhat promising for performance reasons.
I haven't played with any of these yet, because Tokio is unfortunately the path of least resistance. And a bit viral in how it's infected tings.

Learning Async Rust with Too Many Web Servers
I think you missed one which is based on io_uring [1].
In my benchmarks with a slightly tweaked version it was 2x faster than Nginx and and 30x faster than Python's SimpleHttpServer.

How much reason is there to be multi-threaded in the k8s environment
b) It's proven now e.g Seastar, Glommio that the fastest way to run a multi-threaded application is to have one instance with one thread pinned per CPU core. Then to have fibers/lightweight threads on top handling all of the asynchronous code. Your approach of lots of instances is the slowest so there will be a ton of unnecessary thread context-switching.

Why does Actix-web's handler not require Send?
I assume Tokio itself, see e.g monoio or glommio, but also Seastar for C++.

Use io_uring for network I/O
> Few of us have really figured out io_uring. But that doesn't mean it is slower.
seastar.io is a high level framework that I believe has "figured out" io_uring, with additional caveats the framework imposes (which is honestly freeing).
Additionally the rust equivalent: https://github.com/DataDog/glommio

Is async runtime (Tokio) overhead significant for a "real-time" video stream server?
This use case is perfect for https://github.com/DataDog/glommio which is a thread-per-core runtime that is appropriate for latency sensitive code.

Blessed.rs – An unofficial guide to the Rust ecosystem
It's worth mentioning: Under "Async Executors", for "io_uring" there is only "Glommio"
I recently found out that ByteDance has a competitor library which supposedly has better performance:

Building a High-Performance DB Buffer Pool in Zig W\ Io_uring New Fixed-Buffers
FYI, Datadog has a Rust library for scheduling things to run thread-per-core with io_uring
It'd be really useful for DB use cases:

On Implementation of Distributed Protocols
Being able to control nondeterminism is particularly useful for testing and debugging. This allows creating reproducible test environments, as well as discrete-event simulation for faster-than-real-time simulation of time delays. For example, Cardano uses a simulation environment for the IO monad that closely follows core Haskell packages; Sui has a simulator based on madsim that provides an API-compatible replacement for the Tokio runtime and intercepts various POSIX API calls in order to enforce determinism. Both allow running the same code in production as in the simulator for testing.

API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB and Rust
The AWS SDK makes use of the async capabilities in the Tokio library. So when you see async in front of a fn that function is capable of executing asynchronously.

The More You Gno: Gno.land Monthly Updates - 6
Petar is also looking at implementing concurrency the way it is in Go to have a fully functional virtual machine as it is in the spec. This would likely attract more external contributors to developing the VM. One advantage of Rust is that, with the concurrency model, there is already an extensive library called Tokio which he can use. Petar stresses that this isn’t easy, but he believes it’s achievable, at least as a research topic around determinism and concurrency.

Consuming an SQS Event with Lambda and Rust
Another thing to point out is that async is a thing in Rust. I'm not going to begin to dive into this paradigm in this article, but know it's handled by the awesome Tokio framework.

netcrab: a networking tool
So I started by using Tokio, a popular async runtime. The docs and samples helped me get a simple outbound TCP connection working. The Rust async book also had a lot of good explanations, both practical and digging into the details of what a runtime does.

Thread-per-Core
Regarding the quote:
> The Original Sin of Rust async programming is making it multi-threaded by default. If premature optimization is the root of all evil, this is the mother of all premature optimizations, and it curses all your code with the unholy Send + 'static, or worse yet Send + Sync + 'static, which just kills all the joy of actually writing Rust.
Agree about the melodramatic tone. I also don't think removing the Send + Sync really makes that big a difference. It's the 'static that bothers me the most. I want scoped concurrency. Something like <https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/2596>.
Another thing I really hate about Rust async right now is the poor instrumentation. I'm having a production problem at work right now in which some tasks just get stuck. I wish I could do the equivalent of `gdb; thread apply all bt`. Looking forward to <https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/5638> landing at least. It exists right now but is experimental and in my experience sometimes panics. I'm actually writing a PR today to at least use the experimental version on SIGTERM to see what's going on, on the theory that if it crashes oh well, we're shutting down anyway.
Neither of these complaints would be addressed by taking away work stealing. In fact, I could keep doing down my list, and taking away work stealing wouldn't really help with much of anything.

PHP-Tokio – Use any async Rust library from PHP
The PHP <-> Rust bindings are provided by https://github.com/Nicelocal/ext-php-rs/ (our fork of https://github.com/davidcole1340/ext-php-rs with a bunch of UX improvements :).
php-tokio's integrates the https://revolt.run event loop with the https://tokio.rs event loop; async functionality is provided by the two event loops, in combination with PHP fibers through revolt's suspension API (I could've directly used the PHP Fiber API to provide coroutine suspension, but it was a tad easier with revolt's suspension API (https://revolt.run/fibers), since it also handles the base case of suspension in the main fiber).
