Backend is the most common thing teams build in Rust — and for good reason. We design and ship high-throughput APIs and microservices in Rust that handle more load on less hardware, with no garbage-collector pauses and memory safety guaranteed at compile time.
REST and gRPC services on Axum or Actix Web — handling millions of requests on a fraction of the hardware.
Independent, async services with clean boundaries, bounded queues and backpressure built in.
PostgreSQL (SQLx/SeaORM), Redis caching, queues and event pipelines wired to your stack.
WebSockets, SSE and streaming with predictable tail latency under load.
JWT/HMAC, rate limiting, input validation — memory-safe by construction.
Profiling, latency budgets and tuning existing Rust services that aren't fast enough.
A Rust backend gives you C-class throughput with the safety of a managed language and none of the garbage-collector jitter. That means lower cloud bills (more requests per core), predictable p99 latency you can put behind an SLA, and far fewer production incidents — the borrow checker eliminates data races and use-after-free before the code ever ships.
We work in the modern Rust web stack — Axum and Actix Web for services, Tokio for async, SQLx/SeaORM for Postgres, and Redis for caching — and we design for concurrency from day one. If you're hitting a throughput ceiling or paying too much for compute on Go, Node or Python, a Rust backend (or just a Rust hot path) is often the fix. See migrating hot paths to Rust.
Yes — backend services are the single most common production use of Rust. With frameworks like Axum and Actix Web it delivers very high throughput, predictable latency, and memory safety, which is why companies run Rust for APIs, microservices and high-load services.
Both are excellent. Axum (from the Tokio team) is our usual default for its ergonomics and ecosystem fit; Actix Web is a strong choice when you want maximum raw throughput. We pick based on your team and requirements.
Often you don't replace all of it — you move the performance-critical services or hot paths to Rust and keep the rest. That captures most of the benefit with far less risk than a full rewrite.
Yes. Mature crates like SQLx, SeaORM and Diesel cover Postgres, and there are solid Redis clients. We wire Rust services into your existing databases, queues and infrastructure.
