Luca Palmieri - Pavex: re-imaging API development in Rust

Місяць тому

Rust is a viable language for backend development, but does it have a compelling offer? For some usecases, a clear-cut yes! For others… not as much. I’ll walk you through the current state of the web ecosystem and its shortcomings (as I see them): the reasons that pushed me to start yet another framework, Pavex. A live demo will give you a chance to get acquainted with Pavex and its philosophy. We’ll then dive into its architecture and the technology enabling it (compile-time reflection via rustdoc-json).
Visit Pavex's website (pavex.dev/) and Pavex's repository (github.com/LukeMathWalker/pavex)

Great talk, Luca! Keep up the good work you are doing with Pavex. The level of DX you aim at will definitely bring more people to building their backend services in Rust.

The assertion that companies are having trouble finding talent appears to ignore the reality that companies are offering very low compensation for what is putatively a rare skill.

Yeah "we can't hire people" always means "we can't hire people for the low salary we want to pay". Also I'm a bit dubious about not being able to hire Rust developers. Yes there are far fewer Rust developers out there, but they also generally really want to work with Rust, so you have an advantage in luring them, *and* they will be much more skilled than the average programmer.

I wonder if the name has any influence from the town of Pavia, since your name and accent sound very italian?

I come from further South, Rome! I was looking for something along the lines of "paving the way" and then Pavex came to mind.

@@lucapalmieri5249 I literally thought the same thing. Pavix as in paving. Really interesting framework. We have built something similar at our work. Unfortunately, big companies using rust are hesitant to use frameworks due to dependencies it creates and its relatively easy to write building blocks in rust. Love the fact that you're not boxing everything like literally every framework.

Too much jumping around with the bluerprint registers :(

That's indeed a downside of that coding style, I concur! But it works quite nicely when you want to break down your application into smaller modules that are organised by domain or goal. A common need in bigger applications (e.g. monoliths) than smaller ones like our demo project here.
