Runtime Accelerated Rendering Infrastructure

rari is a React Server Components framework running on a Rust runtime. It has three layers: a Rust runtime (HTTP server, RSC renderer, and router with embedded V8), a React framework (app router, server actions, streaming/Suspense), and a build toolchain (Rolldown-powered Vite bundling, tsgo type checking). You write standard React, the runtime underneath is Rust instead of Node.

With proper app router support, true server-side rendering, and correct RSC semantics, rari delivers 72.3x higher throughput and 15.2x faster response times than Next.js.

• App Router - File-based routing with layouts, loading states, and error boundaries
• True Server-Side Rendering - Pre-rendered HTML with instant hydration
• React Server Components - Server components by default, client components when you need them
• Rust-powered runtime - HTTP server, RSC renderer, and routing written in Rust with embedded V8
• Zero-config setup - Works out of the box with pre-built binaries
• Hot module reloading - Instant feedback during development
• node_modules support - Standard npm package resolution, unlike most Rust-based JS runtimes
• TypeScript-first - Full type safety across server/client boundary
• Cross-platform - Supports macOS, Linux, and Windows
• Streaming SSR - Progressive rendering with Suspense boundaries
• Loading States - Automatic loading skeletons during navigation
