Re-imagining backend development in Rust

What is Pavex?

Pavex is a new framework to build APIs with Rust.

Pavex aims to have it all: great ergonomics and high performance.
The same productivity boost of Ruby on Rails, Spring or ASP.NET Core.
As fast as a handwritten solution that strips away all abstractions.

Check out Pavex's documentation for a thorough introduction to the framework and its design philosophy.
