Technology
Axum is a development technology used to build, support, or power modern software applications and digital products.
Axum is a Rust web framework built around the Tokio asynchronous runtime and Tower middleware ecosystem. It provides type-safe routing, request extractors, response handling, middleware, and application state management. Axum is useful for APIs and backend services that need Rust's performance and memory safety while retaining a relatively ergonomic web programming model. It works well with other Rust crates for databases, authentication, serialization, and observability.
For projects using Axum, teams should consider the application's requirements, expected scale, integration points, deployment environment, testing approach, and long-term maintenance. Choosing the technology should also take into account the existing skills of the development team and the libraries or services already used by the product.
