Anyone use Rust to build SaaS web apps professionally?

• vector

  96 16,427 9.9 Rust

  A high-performance observability data pipeline.

  

• axum

  150 16,097 9.3 Rust

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

  

The backend service layer is handled by Actix-web. I had a really hard-time deciding between this and Axum as they both have very compelling ecosystems. I settled on Actix because of a purely gut feeling that it'd be better for a more project.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  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.

  

• sycamore

  70 2,665 7.4 Rust

  A library for creating reactive web apps in Rust and WebAssembly

  

The frontend client side framework of choice is Sycamore. This is the most pleasant part of the whole tech stack to work in. It's like working in SolidJS, but with Rust (and that is saying a lot, as I have grown less fond of working on the frontend with age).

• surrealdb

  93 25,191 9.8 Rust

  A scalable, distributed, collaborative, document-graph database, for the realtime web

  

SurrealDB is where all the backend data is getting stored. So far I have used just the SQL/Object type data structures, but I plan on using it's graph capabilities for a recommendation engine and user feed. I haven't looked into any solutions for full-text search yet (if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know)

• cargo-make

  26 2,392 9.3 Rust

  Rust task runner and build tool.

Cargo is a pretty robust build tool on it's own, but for that extra automated workflow oomph, I also use cargo-make

• lapce

  178 32,249 9.6 Rust

  Lightning-fast and Powerful Code Editor written in Rust

  

...but I also jump into Lapce for something a little more like VSCode (this is majorly pre-alpha though, so it's not quite the same experience).

• alacritty

  352 52,639 9.3 Rust

  A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.

  

Alacritty - I spend most of my time working on this project inside this terminal emulator.

• 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 20,249 9.1 Rust

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

  

The backend service layer is handled by Actix-web. I had a really hard-time deciding between this and Axum as they both have very compelling ecosystems. I settled on Actix because of a purely gut feeling that it'd be better for a more project.

• async-graphql
