  • Exploring the top Rust web frameworks
    23 projects | dev.to | 3 Jun 2025
    Axum is an async-first, ergonomic web framework built on top of the Tokio runtime. It balances ease of use with high performance and supports modern web needs like SSR (with Leptos), WebSockets, and layered middleware. Its growing popularity is due to its simplicity, composability, and integration with the broader Tokio ecosystem. Axum is a very robust web framework.

    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.
  • Axum 0.8.0
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Jan 2025
    I really hope guide-level docs are on the roadmap for Axum. The current situation of "here are some (third-party) blog posts"[0] is not greatly encouraging.

  • Replacing Nginx with Axum
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Oct 2024
    After I read a bit about axum [1], it says it's a relatively thin wrapper on top of hyper [2], a fast and correct HTTP library.

    In other words, what can be done with NGINX, it can be achieved with axum (assuming you know Rust).

    It looks interesting, I'm not going to lie!

  • Declarative macro magic from Axum in Rust
    3 projects | dev.to | 9 Oct 2024
    If you are familiar with API development in Rust, you may recognize this syntax from Axum. This puzzling question piqued my curiosity and led me to build Cairo, where I re-implemented some key Axum concepts in a simpler way as a learning exercise. Iโ€™ve long been fascinated by the intermediate + advanced concepts library authors employ to make their interfaces feel frictionless. Rust sits in a brilliant space because of the way it melds high-level expressiveness with low-level control and performance. One of the ways it accomplishes this is using macros.
