  • indicatif

    A command line progress reporting library for Rust

    I don't know if ureq has streaming downloads, but reqwest has; you can do progress bar with reqwest like this. (using indicatif)

  • compress-tools-rs

    A Swiss Army Knife for handling compressed data in Rust

    That is also an I/O operation. Luckily it seems like they have Tokio support. But my question is what if they didn't (hypothetically), would that be a blocking I/O? Would I have to call it using spawn_blocking in that case?

  • 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.
