Rusty Backends
To find answers, we wanted to get our hands dirty with three popular Rust web frameworks including rocket, axum, and actix, and get a feeling for their performance, features, and most importantly the developer experience.

A recap about the Zentrox development
So, what framework do I use? Zentrox uses the actix_web framework which is a great library. My DevExp. with this tool was nice. It has good documentation and powerful tools. It was easy to implement for me as I was previously using Express.JS and Flask (Python). Actix also has other helper libraries for files, cookies, sessions,... which I use in my project as well.

Understanding AML/KYC: a light primer for engineers
APIs are often the key to enabling interoperability between AML/KYC solutions and other systems. Design APIs following RESTful principles—using libraries like ExpressJs (JavaScript), Flask (Python), or Actix Web (Rust)—ensuring they are stateless and support the JSON/XML formats expected by most systems. Use Swagger to generate detailed documentation for RESTful APIs to facilitate integration and ensure your APIs are easily consumable by other systems. If you’re building GraphQL APIs, using tools like Apollo Server, Prisma, or Graphene will allow for self-documenting APIs (through GraphQL introspection).

Ntex: Powerful, pragmatic, fast framework for composable networking services
I can't speak to the "is it any good" part, but (after a bit of research) I can share what I've found. I'll try to represent things as best as I understand, but I may have some finer details mixed up.
ntex is written by the same person that started actix-web, Nikolay Kim (fafhrd91 on GitHub). There was a bunch of drama a while back due to actix-web using (what many reasoned to be) avoidable unsafe code, which was later found to be buggy. Nikolay was pilloried online, resulting in him transferring leadership of actix-web to someone else. ntex is, as I understand it, essentially Nikolay picking back up on his ideals for what could have been actix-web, if people hadn't pushed him out of his own project.
How ntex compares to the pre-/post-leadership change of actix-web, I don't know.
Here are some jumping points if you want more of the backstory.
