Integrate Rust with Strapi

Rust is blazingly fast and memory-efficient: with no runtime or garbage collector, it can power performance-critical services, run on embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.

    These integration guides are not official documentation and the Strapi Support Team will not provide assistance with them.

    Manage your Rust application content with a powerful headless CMS. Open Source, customizable, and self-hosted, Strapi provides an intuitive admin panel as well as an API consumable from any http client.

    The easiest way to manage your content

    Effortlessly create content structures that flex to your needs. No matter which data structure is the best for your business, you can easily define models and add relations to create rich layout experiences. Seamlessly write, edit and manage any content types. Easily build apps and digital experiences without the distraction of CMS complexities. Consume the API from Rust using REST or GraphQL.

    Rust has a lot of benefits

    Rust is a multi-paradigm programming language designed for performance and safety, especially safe concurrency. Rust is syntactically similar to C++, but can guarantee memory safety by using a borrow checker to validate references.

    1. Performance: Rust is blazingly fast and memory-efficient: with no runtime or garbage collector, it can power performance-critical services, run on embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.
    2. Reliability: Rust’s rich type system and ownership model guarantee memory-safety and thread-safety — enabling you to eliminate many classes of bugs at compile-time.
    3. Productivity: Rust has great documentation, a friendly compiler with useful error messages, and top-notch tooling — an integrated package manager and build tool, smart multi-editor support with auto-completion and type inspections, an auto-formatter, and more.

    Many http clients exists in Rust in order to communicate with a Strapi API: curl-rust, hyper or reqwest

    Strapi, the best fit with Rust

    The out-of-the-box Strapi features allow you to get up-and-running in no time:

    1. Single types: Create one-off pages that have a unique content structure
    2. Customizable API: With Strapi, you can just hop in your code editor and edit the code to fit your API to your needs.
    3. Integrations: Strapi supports integrations with Cloudinary, SendGrid, Algolia, and others.
    4. Editor interface: The editor allows you to pull in dynamic blocks of content.
    5. Authentication: Secure and authorize access to your API with JWT or providers.
    6. RBAC: Help maximize operational efficiency, reduce dev team support work, safeguard against unauthorized access or configuration modifications.
    7. i18n: Manage content in multiple languages. Easily query the different locales through the API.
