Have you written a web backend in Rust? How was it?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • shuttle

    Build & ship backends without writing any infrastructure files.

  • I'm doing a project that can basically either use Go or Rust for the web backend, and I'm wondering how the experience is using Rust for building a web backend. I've looked a bit at shuttle.rs and their documentation is very nice, but I'll probably end up hosting a potential Rust backend myself for the time being.

  • retro.tools-backend

    Web backend for retro.tools

  • I wrote this one starting in 2019. It's very small in scope and is now likely to be replaced by firestore on the front-end.

  • 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.

  • prisma-client-rust

    Type-safe database access for Rust

  • rspc

    A blazingly fast and easy to use tRPC-like server for Rust.

  • Yep, I use this too. And if you want a trpc-like experience with Rust and TypeScript, rspc also exists; the same creator of PCR also contributes to rspc.
