Axeon is an open-source, Express-style web framework for Rust, built on hyper. Simple routing and middleware, with auth, sessions, validation, WebSockets and metrics included. It is about 4-5x faster than Express on roughly 1/100th of the memory.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Tuhin, the maker of Axeon.
I love how fast you can build with Express. I also wanted Rust’s speed and safety. Most Rust web frameworks ask you to learn a lot of type machinery before you can write a “hello world” endpoint, so I built the framework I wanted to use:
let mut app = Server::new();
app.get("/", |_req| async { "Hello, World!" });
app.listen("127.0.0.1:3000")?;
What you get:
⚡ ~4-5x Express throughput on ~1/100th of the memory (benchmarks are in the repo, so you can reproduce them)
🔋 Auth, sessions, CSRF, validation, WebSockets, SSE and metrics built in
🔒 Secure defaults: limits, timeouts, rate limiting and security headers
🧩 Any tower / tower-http layer works as middleware
🗄️ A companion ORM, axeon-orm, for PostgreSQL and SQLite
1.0 is out today, with a documented stability policy, so you can depend on it.
I’d love your feedback on two things:
What would make you move an existing Node/Express service to Rust?
What is still missing before you’d use it in production?
I’ll be here all day answering questions. Thank you! 🙏
