Uses of Cargo Workspaces

• dione

  5 45 0.0 Rust

  Dione is an anonymize and encrypted messaging system build on top on a peer to peer layer.

  

Yeah that’s basically the reason. My project Dione for example uses workspaces, because I developed three pieces of software. A crypto library, a networking library, a test client and the massive server app. This is partially necessary, because the application shares protobufs for the gRPC (client and server part). On the other hand allows it the develop to work on software in a Monorepo mentality, which I personally really like. Other ecosystems have a way more integrated „workspace“ approach. For example Go really embraces this.

• crates.io

  662 2,811 10.0 Rust

  The Rust package registry

  

It's also useful when you're developing a product you're not planning on distributing on crates.io, you can create a kind of monorepo with them with multilple crates that will get compiled and tested together.

• InfluxDB

• git-filter-repo

  50 7,482 0.0 Python

  Quickly rewrite git repository history (filter-branch replacement)

With only two CPU cores and with sccache set up, I haven't needed to increase the number of crates just to achieve more compile-time parallelism and, if I'm going to split functionality out into its own crate because I see it being useful in a lot of projects, I prefer to use something like git-filter-repo to construct a new repository containing just that component and its entire history, so it won't be "in the shadow of" the project it was originally written for.
