RustAPI v0.1.397 Production-Ready Rust Backend Framework
RustAPI v0.1.397
Hey Product Hunt π
After months of building in public and iterating with the community, Iβm excited to launch RustAPI v0.1.397, the biggest feature release since v0.1.300 β transforming RustAPI from a routing tool into a production-ready application platform.
π₯ Why This Matters
RustAPI started as an ergonomic Rust web framework with FastAPI-like ergonomics and strong OpenAPI support. Today itβs moving toward a full backend stack for high-performance, safe, and scalable services β especially for APIs that power ML/AI and real-time applications.
π Whatβs New in v0.1.397
Hereβs what just landed:
π§ Compile-Time Extractor Safety
No more silent runtime errors from body-consuming extractors β ordering mistakes now fail at compile time with clear errors.
π Typed Error Responses + OpenAPI Sync
Declare API error responses directly on handlers and they show up automatically in Swagger UI.
π’ Pagination & HATEOAS Helpers
Built-in offset & cursor pagination with RFC 8288 links + helpful headers.
β‘ Built-In Caching Layer
LRU cache + ETag + 304 Not Modified support out of the box β no external proxies needed.
π Native Hot Reload / Watch Mode
Powered by a custom watcher β no cargo-watch dependency β fast refresh with debounce and smart filtering.
𧩠Event System & Lifecycle Hooks
In-process pub/sub + hooks like .on_start() and .on_shutdown().
π First gRPC Release
Dual HTTP + gRPC runtime powered by tonic & prost with a dedicated crate on crates.io
π What This Means for You
Whether youβre building:
π high-throughput JSON APIs
π§ AI/LLM backends
βοΈ microservices with gRPC
π observability+monitoring tooling
π‘ scalable, cache-first systems
RustAPI now has the core building blocks to deliver production requirements without compromising safety, performance, or ergonomics.
