  3. lunatic

    The Lunatic VM (by bkolobara)

    There is also the Lunatic VM [0] which is an actor system built with Rust targeting WASM on the server.

  4. http_server

    Pony library for building HTTP server applications.

    There's an http server and a small "sinatra" like web framework.

    Someone might have done SQLite for Pony, but I'm not aware of it. Writing network protocol stuff in Pony is usually pretty easy and the C-FFI is usually pretty easy which generally makes writing database connectivity (for at least happy path basics) fairly easy. (Add lots of caveats here).

    If you'd like to talk more in-depth, swing by the Zulip and myself and other folks from the community can help out with answers.
