UXUM

An opinionated backend service framework based on axum.

Project goals

• Minimum boilerplate code.
• Minimal performance impact from features not in use.
• Metrics, tracing, OpenAPI and common service support features available out of the box.
• Ready to be deployed on a local server, VM or container, or in the cloud.

Project non-goals

• Performance and feature parity with bare axum. Straight-up axum without all bells and whistles provided by this framework will always be a bit faster and more flexible.
• Database access layers and connection pools. This is out of scope for this project.

Supported crate features

• grpc: support nesting Tonic GRPC services inside Axum server instance.
• hash_argon2: support PHC user password hashes using Argon2 algorithm.
• hash_pbkdf2: support PHC user password hashes using PBKDF2 and HMAC-SHA256/512 algorithm.
• hash_scrypt: support PHC user password hashes using SCrypt algorithm.
• hash_all: alias for hash_argon2 + hash_pbkdf2 + hash_scrypt.
• jwt: support athentication via HTTP Bearer using JWT.
• kafka: support writing logs to a Kafka topic.
• systemd: enable systemd integration for service notifications and watchdog support (Linux only).
• full: kitchen sink mode, enable every feature.
