  For reference, what I have used that makes me claim this without being misleading (not necessarily all at the same time): https://rocket.rs/ https://rocket.rs/, https://rusoto.github.io/rusoto/rusoto_core/index.html https://rusoto.github.io/rusoto/rusoto_core/index.html, https://docs.rs/postgres/0.15.1/postgres/ https://docs.rs/postgres/0.15.1/postgres/, https://docs.rs/kafka/0.7.0/kafka/ https://docs.rs/kafka/0.7.0/kafka/, https://docs.rs/reqwest/0.8.1/reqwest/ https://docs.rs/reqwest/0.8.1/reqwest/, as well as many other supporting libraries. I've not run into many things where there isn't already support. Also, in terms of networking, if your doing blocking IO, the stdlib is fine. Otherwise, from my experience, I really like https://tokio.rs/ https://tokio.rs/ for non-blocking (I know people are torn on this one) and have used it in my DNS impl, https://github.com/bluejekyll/trust-dns https://github.com/bluejekyll/trust-dns For more info on web and Rust, this is a great page: http://www.arewewebyet.org/ http://www.arewewebyet.org/
