BUILT ON FAMILIAR GROUND AxumTokioTowerSQLx Keep your escape hatches ↗

00 / Less imagining. More exploring.

Not just a framework.
A suite to bring your ideas to life.

Explore three independently deployed applications on Azure Container Apps. Follow the source, discover a starting point, then make it yours.

01 / EXPLORE THE BUILDING BLOCKS

Rullst Showcase

A blog and application showcase. Explore server-rendered pages and selected integration demonstrations.

02 / MAKE ROOM FOR LEARNING

LMS Academy

Discover a learning-platform example, with a public course catalog and account entry points.

03 / PUT YOUR WORK OUT THERE

Developer Portfolio

A portfolio starting point for presenting projects, skills and experience in a focused web application.

Explore Portfolio

Public demos, not production certifications. Each demo is upgraded on its own schedule and can run an earlier Rullst release than 13.0.0-alpha.4; Showcase payment fixtures are not live checkout. Use test data, not sensitive information. Availability is managed separately.

Source & deployment recipes ↗

01 / More than a collection of crates

Less assembly.
More possibility.

Start with a product-shaped foundation. Keep the freedom to understand and change what happens underneath.

THE DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE

A starting point.
Not a starting problem.

Start from the Blank, API or SaaS starter, or copy a complete LMS, ERP, portfolio or blog example. Generate ordinary Rust, follow a coordinated development loop and inspect your application with local tools.

BlankAPISaaS
Find your starting point ↗
SECURITY, EXPLICITLY COMPOSED

Keep trust boundaries visible.

Combine sessions, ownership guards, secure headers, CSRF and bounded request defenses. Your application still owns authorization and deployment policy.

Read the security model ↗
AI WITHOUT PROVIDER LOCK-IN

Local or cloud.
One guarded client.

Named providers and capability-declared OpenAI-compatible endpoints, with offline fixtures, resource limits and explicit tool permissions.

Explore the provider boundaries ↗
BUILT TO BE UNDERSTOOD

Great tools should make you more capable.

Typed APIs, generated source, architecture rules and worked tutorials give humans and coding agents a common map. No claim that an AI-generated change is safe just because it compiles.

Why choose Rullst? ↗

02 / A coordinated ecosystem

One release train.
Room to build.

Twenty packages, released together at one version. Compose the capabilities your product needs; inspect the feature gates and limits before you enable them.

Grouped architecture map, not a dependency graph. The Experimental packages (IoT, Privacy, Supervision, Media and Labs) are optional and not shown; the maturity tiers define what each tier promises.

03 / From your first route to your next idea

Make the workflow
part of the advantage.

01

Start with a real use case.

Choose a starter and database. Optional persistence adds zero or more specialized capabilities—not a second mandatory database.

Zero to Hero ↗
02

Stay in the loop.

Use supervised rebuild/restart during development. Failed builds retain the running application; successful restarts reset process-local state.

The development contract ↗
03

Evolve deliberately.

Preview framework upgrades, apply backed-up changes and run compiler checks. Review migrations and application behavior before deployment.

Repository screenshot, not a live session. The current preview can differ in layout and labels; telemetry and timings depend on the application.

04 / Ambitious about the product. Precise about the proof.

Don't take our word.
Follow the evidence.

No invented rankings. No universal-fastest claim. No green badge presented as a security certification.

Current CI, coverage and OpenSSF evidence are linked from the repository verification dashboard. Results belong to their recorded commits.

Open source. Open invitation.

Your next project.
Our next breakthrough.

Build something. Question an assumption. Bring a reproduction. Improve a tutorial. You don't need a huge pull request to make a meaningful difference.

Explore boldly.
Deploy responsibly.

v13 is in prerelease: 13.0.0-alpha.4 is the 13.0 feature freeze, followed by 13.0.0-rc.1 (fixes and documentation only) and 13.0.0. Cargo never selects a prerelease on its own, so name the exact version from crates.io (=13.0.0-alpha.4) and use its matching immutable tag rather than the moving main branch. The v12 line reached end of life on 16 October 2026 with 12.3.0, and the v12 branch is frozen; move applications with the v12 → v13 adoption guide. The legacy v5 branch is no longer maintained either. Prerelease and stable describe the framework API lifecycle, not automatic approval of an application's authorization, provider configuration, operations or deployment.
