## What it is
Rwf is a comprehensive MVC web framework for building web applications in Rust, bundling an HTTP server, ORM, dynamic templates, authentication, background jobs, and WebSockets. It also includes WSGI and Rack servers to ease migration from Django/Flask and Rails apps.

## Use cases
- build a web application in rust
- rust framework with orm and templates
- migrate a django or flask app to rust
- migrate a rails app to rust
- backend-driven spa with hotwired turbo in rust
- rust web framework with authentication and sessions
- run background and scheduled jobs in a rust web app

## When to choose
- you want a batteries-included MVC framework in Rust similar to Rails or Django
- you need an ORM, auth, migrations, and background jobs out of the box
- you're migrating an existing Python or Ruby web app to Rust incrementally

## When to avoid
- you need a battle-tested, production-hardened framework - Rwf is in beta
- you prefer a minimal async HTTP toolkit like axum or actix-web you compose yourself
- you use a database other than PostgreSQL, since the ORM targets PostgreSQL

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: experimental
- function: web-framework, orm, auth, templating, middleware, websocket, http-server, cli, logging, serialization
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: mvc, postgresql, background-jobs, hotwired-turbo, django-migration, rails-migration, database-migrations, rest, web-server
