It really doesn't, actix is already there. Recently built my startup code over the past couple years with Actix and it had literally everything we needed easily. We just need more documentation and reference code bases demonstrating how to do these things. Rust devs tend to be fairly advanced and seemingly don't write enough docs or shares. >Routing/handlers Actix has it. >Templates Minijinja or liquid-rust[1] >Static file serving actix-files[2] >Logins Actix with oidccore is fantastic and easy[3] >Permissions Actix FromRequest is literally perfect. We have perm levels (admin, owner) and per-route perms for more fine-grained control.[4] > Database interface Diesel with diesel_async for connection pooling has been flawless at scale. > Admin tooling We didn't do this, but it would be simple with a bin/load-data.rs file that runs via a docker start command or tmuxp pane. > Hot reloading Cargo watch is getting deprecated, but was great. Bacon and and Watchexec are fully qualified successors. CSS watch systems work with the templates already same way as they do for SPAs. > Background tasks Make a bin/worker.ts file which defines a single binary and then use redis or another queing sytem to communicate between the worker and core server. We loaded all of HN (40M docs) into a search index with this approach and it was easy. > Monitoring/observability There's a decent story here with structured logging. Zero to production in Rust has a good chapter on it (2020) [5]. Lots of progress has been made since and exposing prom metrics endpoint is straightforward [6]. Sentry support is also decent and they sponsor actix. > Caching Imo, the story with Redis + actix is fine. We do this with our auth middleware to reduce latency on that operation since it happens with every route and I think it's smooth with FromRequest. > Emails and other notifications What's wrong with SMTP? Plus, Keycloak will handle your password reset infra out of the box. SDKs here could be better, but the APIs are fine and not too bad to do with Reqwest yourself. > Deployment tooling + CSS/JS bundling Imo, both of these things are the same as with other languages. Rust could use more documentation, but I don't think there's anything making it particularly hard to use.
