poem VS Rocket

TypeSpec is great, but if you're working with Rust and you're about to write a new project that will require an OpenApi spec sooner or later, I'd like to recommend a web framework that has spec generation baked in:

https://github.com/poem-web/poem (see poem_openapi)

All you need to do is derive a trait on your response structs and in return you get an almost perfectly generated spec. Unions, objects, enums are first class citizens.

Also, if you're from coming from PHP, the controllers feel very much like symfony controllers.

P.s. Please do recommend an ORM that would feel closer to doctrine. I miss doctrine.

I've used FastAPI/Pydantic before as well and it was a very good experience. It has been a while since I used them though, so I forget exactly how they compare, but I do recall it wrote most of the OpenAPI spec. for you. I will also agree when I saw utoipa and aide they seemed to require more boilerplate even though I have not done an actual comparison. Poem, on the other hand, seems very neat and clean and doesn't have any duplication that I can see. Here is the [TODO example](https://github.com/poem-web/poem/blob/master/examples/openapi/todos/src/main.rs).

The example at https://github.com/poem-web/poem/tree/master/examples/openapi/auth-apikey works without issues for me.

'Poem', it turns to nicer to play with for me than 'Axum'. Example of web socket chat https://github.com/poem-web/poem/blob/master/examples/poem/websocket-chat/src/main.rs

If you need built-in OpenAPI support, I can recommend Poem.

If OpenAPI is important, then you may to consider https://github.com/poem-web/poem instead of axum. It isn't nearly as widely used, but it should still be compatible with everything else.

Poem: More rigid and less popular and aims to be easier https://github.com/poem-web/poem

Did you check out Poem? It seems promising, with openapi generation built in already.

https://github.com/poem-web/poem is a pretty nice framework

I recently been working with warp and stumbled upon poem framework (https://github.com/poem-web/poem), any thoughts about that? Considering Axum as well but staying a bit on cautionary side until 0.6 full release.

4. Rocket

If you want something simpler/more minimal, you could use https://rocket.rs/ for the backend and handle the front-end however you want.

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.

Or else you could of course just use https://rocket.rs/

Rust is a popular system programming language, known for its robust memory safety features and exceptional performance. While Rust was originally a system programming language, its application has evolved. Now you can see Rust in different app platforms, mobile apps, and of course, in web apps — both in the frontend and backend, with frameworks like Rocket, Axum, and Actix making it even easier to build web applications with Rust.

I've done some research but I have to admit that creating embedded devices is a totally new subject for me, but that is the point of the project - main goal is learning, and creating something is the secondary goal, so please bear with me and my knowledge of the subject. So, for the hardware I've seen many people recommending SMT32 family devices, but I've also read that anything with the Cortex-M processor can be suitable. Need more info on that. OS is a hard choice for me because on one hand I was thinking of Ubuntu Core but the device support is not really that good I think, so other options I've found are Tock and RIOT-OS, and I am gravitating towards the latter because it's main focus is on IOT devices. I've found frameworks like Rocket.rs for a web app, tauri.app for desktop app (which might not be needed but I still like the idea). Also found Tokio.rs which apparently will help with the networking. There was a discussion from the other members about using the Golioth cloud platform with Zephyr and C++, and I don't know if there are any other alternatives for Golioth that support Rust, I've found webthings.io but I am not sure if it's an alternative, or something else actually, so I would be happy to learn more about that. Again I want to hear your recommendations regarding anything that will help creating a project like that.

I use Rocket on the backend with Postgres. Currently experimenting with Yew for the frontend.
