Any sort of plugin engine with dynamic load ability and any limitations?

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

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

    Rust ABI safe code generator

    Shameless plug - you may want to check out cglue, which lets you mix and match rust versions, and even implement plugins in other languages like C++: https://github.com/h33p/cglue

  • wasmtime

    A fast and secure runtime for WebAssembly

  • 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.

  • wasmer

    🚀 The leading Wasm Runtime supporting WASIX, WASI and Emscripten

  • rust-bindgen

    Automatically generates Rust FFI bindings to C (and some C++) libraries.

    On native, you have to define a C API, probably using a header file. Even if both sides are implemented in Rust, they have to speak that C API (documentation).

  • Cap'n Proto

    Cap'n Proto serialization/RPC system - core tools and C++ library

    This is only possible when you don't need serialization, though. However, just last week I started looking into Cap'n Proto to solve this issue. It's a serialization format that's designed for shared memory and so provides data types that can be used directly with no conversion. There's a full Rust implementation for it.

  • 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.
