New Tokio blog post: Announcing Axum - Web framework that focuses on ergonomics and modularity

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
  • tonic

    A native gRPC client & server implementation with async/await support.

  • We did also consider using Axum for tonic's router, but has put that idea on the back burner for now.

  • routerify

    A lightweight, idiomatic, composable and modular router implementation with middleware support for the Rust HTTP library hyper.rs

  • Looks interesting. How does this compare to routerify?

  • 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.

  • prae

    prae is a crate that aims to provide a better way to define types that require validation.

  • Something like this should work pretty well, since it integrates with serde: https://github.com/teenjuna/prae

  • warp

    A super-easy, composable, web server framework for warp speeds. (by seanmonstar)

  • I liked a lot how simple and direct is to use your project. The examples are very clear. Next week, I'm going to take a deep look to check the Axum features, and make some benchmark in a real environment (something like this: https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp/issues/557).

  • rust-web-framework-comparison

    A comparison of some web frameworks and libs written in Rust

  • I'm actively monitoring all frameworks since 2015 and right now there are 15(!) deprecated but also 12 active server frameworks. And I am really glad that there is a wide discussion and experimentation space to gradually unify the best of all approaches. And that's what makes the Rust community so valuable: creating the best together with patience and precision.

  • trillium

    🌱🦀🌱 Trillium is a composable toolkit for building internet applications with async rust

  • I've been planning on using trillium on a project, the main difference I can see between it and Axum is that Axum allows you to use existing tower middle ware, right?

  • axum

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

  • I hope so. Would be cool to have. I haven't looked into it yet though. Someone did file an issue on it already https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/issues/50

  • 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.

  • seamless

    An opinionated Rust library for creating simple JSON APIs that communicate over HTTP (by jsdw)

  • I wrote a library (https://github.com/jsdw/seamless) to help generate typesafe and documented APIs (more opinionated and not supposed to do the other things you'd want from a web server, so it works alongside and not instead of one) and it looks like running this with axum will be a breeze, so I'll def be trying it out!

  • dropshot

    expose REST APIs from a Rust program

  • i haven't tried it yet, but https://github.com/oxidecomputer/dropshot apparently offers automated OpenAPI generation: https://docs.rs/dropshot/0.5.1/dropshot/struct.ApiDescription.html

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
