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:

cargo install generate cargo install trunk cargo generate --git https://github.com/yewstack/yew-trunk-minimal-template trunk serve --open
-
The above snippet of code will generate a boilerplate code that you can use as a starting template for your Yew app. The reason we installed Trunk is because Yew uses a Trunk bundler to serve HTML for the web.

Rouille is a microweb framework that employs a linear request and response design via a listening socket that parses HTTP requests.
-
Thruster is a fast, middleware-based Rust web framework inspired by the layering and design of Koa and Express.js. It is SSL-ready, secure, intuitive, and testable. Thruster is built to accommodate async/await and provides support for middleware, error handling, databases, and testing. Thruster is as young as the Rouille framework and the community is not very big yet. Here is a quick Happy Birthday code overview of how Thruster works:
-
Tide is a minimal framework similar to Express.js (Node.js), Sinatra (Ruby), and Flask (Python) for rapid development that promotes asynchronously building web apps. It has most of the functionalities you’ll find in most mature web frameworks including, routing, auth, socket, log, template engines, middleware, testing, and other utilities.
