Partial A Rust web framework on hyper with routing, middleware, and auth is buildable with AI help, but security-sensitive pieces and the performance claims need expert Rust and systems knowledge.
What it would actually take: The stack would be Rust with hyper and tokio, a router and middleware trait system, and modules for sessions, validation, and WebSockets. The hard parts are getting auth and session security right, keeping the API ergonomic while staying fast, and producing reproducible benchmarks that back the speed and memory claims. That needs experienced Rust engineers and a benchmarking methodology.
