Rapid-rs – Zero-config web framework for Rust
Hi HN! I built rapid-rs to solve a problem I kept hitting: setting up a new Rust web API requires wiring together lots of crates and boilerplate. : FastAPI's developer experience + Spring Boot's conventions, with Rust's performance and type safety. : - One command to scaffold: `rapid new myapi` - Auto-configuration: DB, logging, CORS work out of the box - Type-driven validation: Compile-time + runtime guarantees - Auto-generated OpenAPI/Swagger UI - Built on Axum, so you can use Axum patterns when needed It's early stage but functional. Would love feedback from the HN community! GitHub:…
Rapid-rs – Zero-config web framework for Rust launched on November 20, 2025 with 9 votes, #1,143 of 9,796 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.
What it does
Build production-ready APIs in Rust with zero configuration. rapid-rs combines FastAPI's developer experience with Spring Boot's conventions, powered by Axum. One command to start, auto-generated docs, type-safe everything.
crates.io serves as a central registry for sharing crates, which are packages or libraries written in Rust that you can use to enhance your projects
In the maker’s words, at launch
I built rapid-rs to eliminate the hours of boilerplate when starting a new Rust web service. One command gets you: - Auto-configured DB, logging, CORS - OpenAPI/Swagger UI at /docs - Request validation - Production-ready observability Built on Axum. Early benchmarks show ~50K req/s with 10-20MB RAM.…

Rust Web Framework2024 · github.com · ▲488Hi everyone, I've been "funemployed" for a few months and with all that free time and idle hands I wrote a full web framework (think Rails, not Flask) for Rust. It's boring old MVC, has its own ORM, templates, background jobs, auth, websockets, migrations and more. If you're keen but don't feel like rewriting your app in a different language, Rwf has a WSGI server to run Django (or Flask) inside Rust [1], letting you migrate to Rust at your own pace without disrupting your website. I think Rust makes a great prototyping and deploy straight to production language. Now it has yet another…

Faasta – A self-hosted Serverless platform for WASM-wasi-HTTP in Rust2025 · github.com · ▲95I've just released an early version off my project I've been working on for a few months now and would love some feedback. https://github.com/fourlexboehm/faasta I was surprised there isn't yet an open/source and standards compliant way to host wasi-http functions in a way that takes advantages of WASM, a multi tenanted application. If you're not familiar with wasi, Compared to something like AWS Lambda, this approach is much more efficient as a single process can serve 1000s of function invocations concurrently and asynchronously, instead requiring an entire VM.…

- AFApache Fory Rust – 10-20x faster serialization than JSON/ProtobufOct 2025 · fory.apache.org · ▲67
Serialization framework with some interesting numbers: 10-20x faster on nested objects than json/protobuf. Technical approach: compile-time codegen (no reflection), compact binary protocol with meta-packing, little-endian layout optimized for modern CPUs. Unique features that other fast serializers don't have: - Cross-language without IDL files (Rust ↔ Python/Java/Go) - Trait object serialization (Box) - Automatic circular reference handling - Schema evolution without coordination Happy to discuss design trade-offs. Benchmarks:…

Talanoa▲345Hi 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…
