Is Rust any good for building RESTful apis?

• mold

  179 13,226 9.7 C++

  Mold: A Modern Linker 🦠

  Using Mold as my linker, I have incremental compile times usually less than 2 seconds. Some libraries ("crates") use a lot of generics (e.g. the warp web server), and greatly slow it down, but avoiding them isn't very difficult.

• Rocket

  155 23,310 8.9 Rust

  A web framework for Rust.

  

  Rust is great at writing fast servers, for which I'd recommend Rocket (version ≥ 0.5.0) or Actix-web. Some of the article's claims are true, mostly relating to third-party libraries. However, I will disagree with a few things:

• WorkOS

  workos.com

  sponsored

  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.

  

• actix-web

  171 20,200 9.2 Rust

  Actix Web is a powerful, pragmatic, and extremely fast web framework for Rust.

• sqlx

  144 11,678 9.2 Rust

  🧰 The Rust SQL Toolkit. An async, pure Rust SQL crate featuring compile-time checked queries without a DSL. Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. (by launchbadge)

  

• axum

  150 16,000 9.3 Rust

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

  

  Yep! Check out Axum by the tokio people, it’s a relatively new framework but IMO really well designed and great to use
