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 framework for y'all to play with.
Cheers!
my suggestions:
- async-trait should be stabilized now, so you shouldn't need the macro anymore
- Add opentelemetry integration so we get metrics and tracing out of the box
- use jemalloc for linux targets
Good work! Keep it up!
I tried to use standard async traits, but they don't support dynamic dispatch [1] which Rwf uses extensively.
I'll be adding opentelemetry tags to functions (from the `tracing` crate). jemalloc can be added to the binary apps that use Rwf, we don't need to add it as a dep to the lib.
Cheers!
