Rocket: A Web Framework for Rust

Rocket is a web framework written in Rust. It provides a concise API and is opinionated and feature-rich beyond what you would typically find in a micro-framework.

The project was started by Sergio Benitez in 2016. Sergio used to work at Google and Apple where he worked on Gmail and macOS respectively. In 2014, he helped reduce the system boot-up time of Space X’s Rockets while working on their flight software. Sergio still actively maintains Rocket to this day with rarely a business day passing without a few commits being made to its repository on GitHub.

How does this compare to Actix? Actix seems to take advantage of Rust’s actor system.

Rust does not have an actor system, there are multiple libraries that implement actor systems however, and no, Actix does not implement an actor system, it’s a standard async library, like rocket or warp or whatever else. Actix and Rocket are both ‘higher level’ in that they have more functionality and addins than lower level libraries like warp and so forth. The big thing about actix is that it is its own ecosystem, where rocket (and warp and the like 20 others) are all built on things like tower, so they can interoperate. No real speed difference between any of them anymore.
