Octopii, a runtime for writing distributed applications in Rust

In plain words

Octopii is a runtime designed for building distributed applications using Rust. It provides developers with tools and infrastructure needed to write, deploy, and manage code across multiple machines or systems. The runtime handles communication and coordination between distributed components, simplifying the complexity of building systems that span multiple nodes. It is intended for Rust developers working on distributed computing projects.

From the sources

Octopii is a distributed systems kernel that provides the fundamental primitives for building replicated, crash-resistant services. Unlike typical frameworks that glue libraries together, Octopii abstracts over time, storage, network, and randomness to enable both production deployment and rigorous deterministic testing. [ dependencies ] octopii = { git = " https://github.com/octopii-rs/octopii " , features = [ " openraft " ] } Quick Start use octopii :: { Config , OctopiiNode , OctopiiRuntime } ; # [ tokio :: main ] async fn main ( ) -> Result < ( ) , Box < dyn std :: error :: Error > > { let runtime = OctopiiRuntime :: new ( 4 ) ; let config = Config { node_id : 1 , bind_addr :…from github.com

  Ambient, a multiplayer game engine and platform using WASM/WebGPU/Rust2023 · ambient.run · ▲90

  Earlier this year, we released our open-source game engine [0] built with Rust, WebAssembly, and WebGPU. Today, we’re happy to announce the Ambient platform, which brings web deployment, server hosting, and more to the runtime. With Ambient, you can make a game, deploy it to the browser in one command, share your URL and instantly play with others, no downloads or installs needed. Our WASM use is innovative; it is being used as both a sandboxed runtime for user code, and as a way to run the entire Ambient runtime in the browser. This, paired with our ECS data model, enables a highly modular…

  Octosphere, a tool to decentralise scientific publishingFeb 2026 · octosphere.social · ▲64

  Hey HN! I went to an ATProto meetup last week, and as a burnt-out semi-academic who hates academic publishing, I thought there might be a cool opportunity to build on Octopus (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.octopus.ac&#x2F;), so I got a bit excited over the weekend and built Octosphere. Hopefully some of you find it interesting! Blog post here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;andreasthinks.me&#x2F;posts&#x2F;octosphere&#x2F;octosphere.html

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  22 GB of Hacker News in SQLite▲730

  Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite&#x2F;wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;DOSAYGO-STUDIO&#x2F;HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
