Anyone use Rust to build SaaS web apps professionally?

1. vector

   1 109 19,244 9.9 Rust

   A high-performance observability data pipeline.

   

2. InfluxDB

   influxdata.com featured

   InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

   

3. axum

   2 160 21,359 9.5 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.

4. sycamore

   3 70 3,039 8.8 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).

5. surrealdb

   4 104 29,155 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)

6. cargo-make

   5 28 2,729 9.2 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

7. lapce

   6 182 35,172 9.2 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).

8. alacritty

   7 369 58,445 8.7 Rust

   A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.

   

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

9. CodeRabbit

10. actix-web

    8 180 22,790 9.2 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.

11. async-graphql

    9 19 3,477 9.0 Rust

    A GraphQL server library implemented in Rust
