Description
I built rapid-rs to eliminate the hours of boilerplate when starting a new Rust web service.One command gets you: - Auto-configured DB, logging, CORS - OpenAPI/Swagger UI at /docs - Request validation - Production-ready observabilityBuilt on Axum. Early benchmarks show ~50K req/s with 10-20MB RAM.This is v0.1 - feedback welcome!Crates: https://crates.io/crates/rapid-rs
