C-rusted: The Advantages of Rust, in C, without the Disadvantages
kcgi describes itself as being "minimal" whereas actix-web calls itself "powerful", "extremely fast" and as having "a lot of features out of box"... seems about as fair as comparing the 320MB Apache HTTP Server repo against the 52KB tiny_http library

Is Rust good choice for the backend of any mobile application?
I'm developing the backend of https://www.cozydate.com/ in Rust. Async Rust is not productive yet, so I tried rouille http server which lets me write non-async request handlers. Unfortunately, it uses an unbounded thread pool and falls down under load https://github.com/tiny-http/tiny-http/issues/221 . Then I tried Tide and a threadpool to call my non-async API handlers. This worked, but was really ugly, and I had issues with uploads after deploying to Heroku https://github.com/http-rs/tide/issues/878 .

Hey rustaceans, which web framework you guys suggest for a small application?
tiny-http is small. You'll probably be able to make something with less than 1 Mb.

NVD - CVE-2022-23812 - A 9.8 critical vulnerability caused by a node library author adding code into his package which has a 1 in 4 chance of wiping the files of a system if it's IP comes from Russia or Belarus
That's not a simple http server, something like tiny_http would be with only... 17 total dependencies by default. Actix is a full framework with an abundance of features, and correspondingly-large dependency tree.
