Production projects
- S3-Compatible Object Storage Classic RustFS RustFS splits a MinIO-style object store into dozens of single-purpose Rust crates behind one binary, keeps extra protocols behind cargo features, and moves inter-node traffic to gRPC, so storage, healing and IAM evolve separately.
- 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.
- Open-Source Payments Orchestration Classic Hyperswitch Hyperswitch runs a panic-averse Rust router on Actix Web with Redis absorbing hot writes and a drainer persisting them to PostgreSQL, while a routing DSL that also compiles to WebAssembly keeps processor selection consistent between server and browser.
- Geo-Distributed Object Storage Engine Classic Garage Garage splits RPC, replication, storage and each API protocol into separate Rust crates around a pluggable embedded metadata engine (LMDB, SQLite or Fjall), so a geo-distributed cluster can tolerate node and network failures without depending on an external coordination service or database.
