In this section, we delve into the architecture powering the API system built with Rust, Axum, and SeaORM. This structure emphasizes scalability, maintainability, and performance.
In today’s fast-paced backend development landscape, Rust is gaining traction for its performance, safety, and growing ecosystem. In this blog series, we’ll walk through how to build a modern, scalable, and maintainable API using Axum, SeaORM, and Rust. We'll use my open-source CMS API project, my-cms, as the reference implementation.
In recent years, Rust has evolved from a niche systems language into a serious contender for building modern backend infrastructure. Known for its memory safety, performance, and expressive type system, Rust is increasingly being adopted for developing APIs, background workers, and microservices that demand both reliability and speed. In this post, we’ll explore the core benefits Rust brings to backend development and why it's becoming a go-to choice for high-performance services.
