RustAPI - A Rust API framework designed for AI-first development

by•
RustAPI is an open-source Rust API framework built to make AI-generated backend services readable, composable, and production-ready. It removes boilerplate friction from Actix/Axum and is optimized for SSE, MCP, and LLM workflows.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built RustAPI because AI struggles with Rust’s complexity when generating APIs. Existing frameworks like Actix and Axum are powerful, but they force AI (and developers) to fight excessive boilerplate and rigid architectures. RustAPI is designed as an AI-first API framework, clean, composable, and readable for both humans and LLMs. I’d love feedback from Rust devs, backend engineers, and anyone experimenting with AI-generated code. Thanks for checking it out 🚀
