Production projects
- Developer Work Log & Promotion Coach Hybrid Upleveler Upleveler keeps every log, note and goal as plain local files and routes all AI work through a local Ollama model in small map-reduce prompts, so one Rust binary can serve the CLI, a Ratatui app and a 127.0.0.1 Axum dashboard without an account or cloud.
- Rust Web Framework Classic Axum Axum skips a custom middleware system and treats every route and layer as a Tower service, so it inherits timeouts, tracing, compression and auth from tower-http and shares middleware with Hyper and tonic code.
- Full-Stack Rust Web Framework Classic Leptos Leptos separates its reactive graph, renderer and server-function RPC into independent crates and keeps the core server-agnostic, so the same components run as SSR HTML or WebAssembly, and Axum or Actix Web plug in through thin integration crates.
- Cross-Platform Rust App Framework Classic Dioxus Dioxus keeps one virtual DOM and component model and swaps renderers per platform (WebAssembly, WebView, SSR, LiveView, native), while its own dx CLI handles hot-patching, asset bundling and packaging for every target.
- Shell History Sync Classic Atuin Atuin keeps history local in SQLite and encrypts it before sync, so the Axum sync server stays a thin store; a gRPC daemon and capability crates (CLI, server, AI, dotfiles) let each part evolve behind feature flags.
- Identity Management Platform Classic Kanidm Kanidm ships every identity protocol from one Rust server with bundled SQLite and built-in replication, renders its UI with Axum, Askama and htmx, and maintains its own WebAuthn, JWT and LDAP crates to keep security-critical code under its control.
- Rails-Style Rust Web Framework Classic Loco Loco assembles proven crates (Axum, SeaORM, Tera, Lettre, OpenDAL) behind Rails-style conventions and generators, uses feature flags to keep infrastructure optional, and ships an AGENTS.md, an agent skill and evals so agents can build on it.
- Package Registry Classic crates.io crates.io runs one pinned-dependency Rust binary as migrate, web and worker processes, splits domains into small internal crates, and generates its TypeScript client from OpenAPI types so the SvelteKit frontend and Axum API share one contract.
- Local LLM Inference Engine & Hardware Profiler Hybrid Magnitude Performance-critical inference sits in a Rust workspace around vendored llama.cpp, while the app, CLI, agent and model management live in a Bun + Effect TypeScript monorepo. The native engine can be pinned and benchmarked on its own while the product layer changes quickly.
- Cloud-Native Observability Engine Classic OpenObserve Storing telemetry as Parquet on object storage instead of a traditional database, paired with DataFusion for SQL and dedicated PromQL crates, is what the project credits for its lower storage cost, while Cargo feature flags keep enterprise-only code optional inside the same open-core binary.
- Identity Provider & Access Management Classic Authentik Replacing Redis with three purpose-built PostgreSQL-backed packages for channels, cache, and task queueing shrinks the required external dependencies to just PostgreSQL, while protocol proxying is pushed into separate Go outposts instead of the main Django process.
