Top 23 Rust Web Projects
-
Tauri is a Rust-based library that enables you to build lightweight desktop applications by leveraging web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the UI. You can use any frontend framework of your choice that compiles to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Unlike Electron (a JavaScript desktop app development framework), which relies on Chromium and Node.js, Tauri uses the system's native web view.

InfluxDB
InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.
-
Yew is one of the most popular Rust frameworks (it currently has 30.5k stars on GitHub) for building modern web applications.
-
Servo
Servo aims to empower developers with a lightweight, high-performance alternative for embedding web technologies in applications.
Project mention: AI Policy Update Proposal · servo/servo · Discussion #36379 | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-07 -
Project mention: SurrealDB 2.2: Benchmarking, graph path algorithms and foreign key constraints | dev.to | 2025-03-17
To make this better, we've created a language testing suite similar to the ECMAscript conformance testing suite test262.
-
Dioxus has one of the largest community support with over 20k GitHub stars.
-
Rocket has evolved into a highly usable, performant framework with active development and over 25k GitHub stars. Here is a simple example of a Rocket server that takes two query parameters and returns a Happy Birthday message:

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.

biome
A toolchain for web projects, aimed to provide functionalities to maintain them. Biome offers formatter and linter, usable via CLI and LSP.
biome is a replacement for both ESlint and prettier. It's a pretty cool project but I've already spent considerable time setting up my ESlint so this is not a realistic option.
-
Leptos is a modern full-stack framework for Rust, built for fine-grained reactivity, server-side rendering (SSR), and seamless frontend/backend integration. It's similar in spirit to React with Next.js but offers Rust's safety and performance. Leptos integrates with Axum and provides a full-stack development experience — you can write your UI and backend in the same language and reuse logic between the two. It also supports hydration, island architecture, and async rendering. To get started with Leptos, install the CLI and scaffold a project:

There is https://shuttle.rs. Not only a framework but a tool that can generate all the web boilerplate around it, sounds lazy enough for me!

Project mention: Show HN: I built a memory-safe web server in Rust (currently in beta) | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-02
This web server is probably awesome. However "memory-safe" isn't distinguishing within the Rust ecosystem. There's... a lot... of Rust web servers out there, all of which are presumably memory-safe, because Rust:

How does Ferron distinguish itself from these? I didn't get that from skimming the landing page.

https://github.com/poem-web/poem is one Rust framework with swagger definitions out of the box.

you may like to try https://marginalia-search.com which is great for finding things unexpectedly and much more from the small internet. https://stract.com is great too
