Pavex is a Rust framework for building APIs and web applications, aiming to combine the productivity of frameworks like Rails or ASP.NET Core with the performance of handwritten Rust. It uses a compiler-driven approach to generate application scaffolding and provide strong error reporting.

Use cases

• build a REST API in Rust
• create a high-performance web backend
• replace actix-web or axum with a more ergonomic framework
• scaffold a new Rust web service with routing and middleware
• build an API server with dependency injection
• get Rails-like productivity in Rust web development

When to choose

• you want a productive, batteries-included Rust API framework with strong ergonomics
• you need high performance comparable to handwritten Rust solutions
• you value excellent compile-time error reporting for web development
• you're starting a new API project and can accept a beta-stage framework

When to avoid

• you need a battle-tested, production-proven framework today
• you require a large ecosystem of third-party middleware and extensions
• you don't want to sign up for closed beta access
• your team is already invested in axum, actix-web, or rocket
