Exploring the top Rust web frameworks
Actix Web is a production-grade, high-performance Rust web framework built on the actor model. It’s one of the most mature frameworks in the ecosystem and is known for its blazing speed, extensibility, and feature richness — though it may present a steeper learning curve compared to Axum or Rocket.

Rusty Backends
To find answers, we wanted to get our hands dirty with three popular Rust web frameworks including rocket, axum, and actix, and get a feeling for their performance, features, and most importantly the developer experience.

A recap about the Zentrox development
So, what framework do I use? Zentrox uses the actix_web framework which is a great library. My DevExp. with this tool was nice. It has good documentation and powerful tools. It was easy to implement for me as I was previously using Express.JS and Flask (Python). Actix also has other helper libraries for files, cookies, sessions,... which I use in my project as well.

Understanding AML/KYC: a light primer for engineers
APIs are often the key to enabling interoperability between AML/KYC solutions and other systems. Design APIs following RESTful principles—using libraries like ExpressJs (JavaScript), Flask (Python), or Actix Web (Rust)—ensuring they are stateless and support the JSON/XML formats expected by most systems. Use Swagger to generate detailed documentation for RESTful APIs to facilitate integration and ensure your APIs are easily consumable by other systems. If you’re building GraphQL APIs, using tools like Apollo Server, Prisma, or Graphene will allow for self-documenting APIs (through GraphQL introspection).
