  • actix-web

    Actix Web is a powerful, pragmatic, and extremely fast web framework for Rust.

    Project mention: Ntex: Powerful, pragmatic, fast framework for composable networking services | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-23

    I can't speak to the "is it any good" part, but (after a bit of research) I can share what I've found. I'll try to represent things as best as I understand, but I may have some finer details mixed up.

    ntex is written by the same person that started actix-web, Nikolay Kim (fafhrd91 on GitHub). There was a bunch of drama a while back due to actix-web using (what many reasoned to be) avoidable unsafe code, which was later found to be buggy. Nikolay was pilloried online, resulting in him transferring leadership of actix-web to someone else. ntex is, as I understand it, essentially Nikolay picking back up on his ideals for what could have been actix-web, if people hadn't pushed him out of his own project.

    How ntex compares to the pre-/post-leadership change of actix-web, I don't know.

    Here are some jumping points if you want more of the backstory.

  • Iron

    An Extensible, Concurrent Web Framework for Rust

    Project mention: Options for thread-per-request or thread-per-connection web servers? | /r/rust | 2023-04-22

    I've written many things using Iron and it's been fine. It's not particularly developed any more but I am not aware of any major outstanding issues.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • miniserve

    🌟 For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now!

    Project mention: Fastest Way to Serve Large Files | /r/linux_programming | 2023-06-13
  • Tide

    Fast and friendly HTTP server framework for async Rust

    Project mention: Latest Zen Kernel...... | /r/linuxmemes | 2023-05-26

  • Nickel

    An expressjs inspired web framework for Rust

    Project mention: Announcing Nickel 1.0, a configuration language written in (and usable from) Rust | /r/rust | 2023-06-08

    There's a popular web framework called Nickel already: https://nickel-org.github.io/

  • loco

    🚂 🦀 The one-person framework for Rust for side-projects and startups

    Project mention: Prodzilla: From Zero to Prod with Rust and Shuttle | dev.to | 2024-02-21

    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.

  • salvo

    A powerful web framework built with a simplified design.

    Project mention: Socketioxide v0.7.0 release! (socket.io server implementation as a tower service/layer) | /r/rust | 2023-11-14

    Supports for hyper v1 (through a feature flag) and therefore it is compatible with the salvo library!

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Gotham

    A flexible web framework that promotes stability, safety, security and speed.

    Project mention: Top Rust Web Frameworks: Rocket, Actix-web, Tide, Warp, and Gotham | dev.to | 2023-06-14

    Gotham Gotham, Rust's flexible web framework, is a trustworthy ally for developers looking for safety, security, and extensibility in their web applications. Gotham provides developers with a solid foundation for building secure and efficient web solutions, thanks to its powerful routing system and support for asynchronous request handling. Gotham helps developers avoid common pitfalls and ensures code integrity by prioritizing safety. Its extensible design makes it simple for developers to customize and enhance their applications, making Gotham an excellent choice for projects requiring flexibility and a focus on security.

  • granian

    A Rust HTTP server for Python applications

    Project mention: Improving Interoperability Between Rust and C++ | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-05

    Yeah, PyO3 is great. I've tried to play around with releasing the GIL from rust in Python 3.12. I would enjoy writing a WSGI/ASGI server with a Celery runtime at some point too. Or contribute to Granian.

  • bayard

    A full-text search and indexing server written in Rust.

  • static-web-server

    A cross-platform, high-performance and asynchronous web server for static files-serving. ⚡

    Project mention: Static Web Server | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-20
  • Rouille, Rust web server middleware

    Web framework in Rust (by tomaka)

    Project mention: Rouille, a Rust web micro-framework | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-29
  • binserve

    A fast production-ready static web server with TLS (HTTPS), routing, hot reloading, caching, templating, and security in a single-binary you can set up with zero code.

  • tiny-http

  • http

    Host These Things Please - a basic http server for hosting a folder fast and simply (by thecoshman)

  • piping-server-rust

    Infinitely transfer between every device over pure HTTP with pipes or browsers

    Project mention: LANDrop – Drop any files to any devices on your LAN | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-24

    https://github.com/nwtgck/piping-server-rust/releases/expand...

    https://github.com/nwtgck/go-piping-server/releases/expanded...

    There is also a Typescript version.

    Unlike MagicWormhole, this does not require Python. Any HTTP client will do, whether graphical browser, text-only browser, curl, anything that can make HTTP requests. Javascript is optional.

    There is an example server run by the author for testing but unlike MagicWormhole it is not a default; the address is not found anywhere in the source code.

    https://ppng.io/noscript

    Magic Wormhole, or PAKE in general, might be well-suited for transferring files between two or more parties, but here the question was about transferring files between two computers operated by the same party.

  • frank_jwt

    JSON Web Token implementation in Rust.

    Project mention: JWT Authentication in NodeJS | dev.to | 2024-02-29

    If you want to play with JWT and put these concepts into practice, you can use jwt.ioDebugger to decode, verify, and generate JWTs.

  • http-server

    Simple and configurable command-line HTTP server (by http-server-rs)

  • ReductStore

    A time series database for storing and managing large amounts of blob data

    Project mention: ReductStore v1.9.0 Released | dev.to | 2024-03-14

    We are pleased to announce the release of the latest minor version of ReductStore, 1.9.0. ReductStore is a time series database designed for storing and managing large amounts of blob data.

  • handlebars-iron

    Handlebars middleware for Iron web framework

  • wasmedge_hyper_demo

    Lightweight HTTP servers based on hyper / warp frameworks in the WasmEdge Runtime.

    Project mention: Release: WasmEdge 0.12 and 0.12.1 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-28

    https://github.com/second-state/microservice-rust-mysql

    https://github.com/WasmEdge/wasmedge-db-examples

    https://github.com/WasmEdge/wasmedge_hyper_demo

    WasmEdge is already one of the smallest and most efficient Wasm runtimes out there. It embeds into libsql (SQLite on the server!) to execute user definited functions to perform complex tasks like HTTPS web services & AI inference from SQL statements! https://wasmedge.org/docs/embed/use-case/libsql/

    The WasmEdge C++ and Rust SDKs allow host applications to embed Wasm functions asynchronously. It is critically important in many applications where the embedded Wasm function is simply not allowed to block the execution of the host applications. https://github.com/second-state/wasmedge-rustsdk-examples/bl...

    Asynchronous host SDKs are complex and a lot of work still remains. We are continuously improving it with our end user and partner communities.

    Preview: https://github.com/L-jasmine/WasmEdge/tree/feat/async

    What's coming next?

    * Support plugins in our Docker and k8s integrations
