Foundations is Cloudflare's modular Rust library for building production-grade distributed services. It bundles logging, distributed tracing, metrics, memory profiling with jemalloc, seccomp-based sandboxing, documented service configuration, and a CLI helper for config loading.
Use cases
- add structured logging and metrics to a Rust service
- set up distributed tracing for a production Rust backend
- sandbox a Rust service's syscalls with seccomp
- manage documented service configuration in Rust
- profile memory usage of a Rust program with jemalloc
- bootstrap a production-ready Rust microservice
- add a CLI that loads service configuration
When to avoid
- you're building a small prototype or CLI script where full service scaffolding is overkill
- you already standardize on a different observability or config stack
- you need a web framework itself - Foundations complements frameworks like Oxy rather than replacing them
- you target platforms without seccomp/jemalloc support and don't need those features
