What’s an actual use case for Rust

• flyctl

  544 1,302 9.9 Go

  Command line tools for fly.io services

  

- heavily used in for all kinds of network backend stuff, eg. at AWS, fly.io, Deno, even Cloudflare I think (don't they use deno deploy for some of their stuff?), Discord, Microsoft

• veloren

  60 - -

Games (Veloren, or check out this website for updates on other games being developed in Rust)

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  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.

  

• tauri

  469 77,154 9.8 Rust

  Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.

  

You can release any desktop application with web UI (Electron-style) using Tauri, here are some showcases

• axum

  150 16,097 9.3 Rust

  Ergonomic and modular web framework built with Tokio, Tower, and Hyper

  

Web applications e.g. online chess, or anything from this showcase list for axum or any other web framework for Rust you could find (e.g. Actix and its showcase list)

• surrealdb

  93 25,126 9.8 Rust

  A scalable, distributed, collaborative, document-graph database, for the realtime web

  

Databases (SurrealDB)

• gitoxide

  84 7,909 9.9 Rust

  An idiomatic, lean, fast & safe pure Rust implementation of Git

There's a re-implementation of git called gitoxide

• rustdesk

  484 62,537 9.9 Rust

  An open-source remote desktop, and alternative to TeamViewer.

Remote Desktop (RustDesk)

• 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.

  

• astro

  2 733 0.0 Rust

  A fun safe language for rapid prototyping and high performance applications (by astrolang)

  

Some people tried using Rust to implement programming languages, right now I do not know any bigger language with compiler written in Rust but there was an attempt with astro. Match statements make parsing in Rust pretty comfortable.

• backend-lishuuro

  8 21 2.9 Rust

  Backend code for lishuuro.

Web applications e.g. online chess, or anything from this showcase list for axum or any other web framework for Rust you could find (e.g. Actix and its showcase list)

• lapce

  3D and 2D game engine written in Rust

  

Game engines (Bevy, Fyrox)

• evcxr

  75 5,182 8.7 Rust
  

In theory you should be able to create Rust notebooks (Jupyter notebook) using evcxr so maybe some AI, data analysis, prototyping make sense if you aim for good performance in final application (protype in evcxr and use notebook as reference to implement final application in Rust for speed and safety).

• embassy

  70 4,324 9.9 Rust

  Modern embedded framework, using Rust and async.

  

Embedded (getting examples is starting to get tiring, so here you have just a lightweight alternative for some of RTOS applications which do not have hard real time constraints)

• bevy

  573 32,210 9.9 Rust

  A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust
