Build web apps in Rust — without the boilerplate

Rustango is a batteries-included web framework with an obsession for developer velocity: scaffold a whole project, a feature module, a REST API, a background job, or a form with a single command — then ship it as one slim, blazing-fast native binary. You write what's unique to your app; the generators write the rest.

Scaffolds & tools for every step

The cargo rustango + manage CLIs generate the boilerplate so you stay in flow. Most features start as one command:

• cargo rustango new — a complete project (api / fullstack / tenant) with config, Docker, and migrations wired up
• startapp — a self-contained feature module: models, views, routes, and tests, auto-mounted
• make:viewset + make:serializer — a REST API with filtering, pagination, and response shaping
• make:form, make:job, make:notification, make:middleware, make:test — forms, background jobs, multi-channel notifications, middleware, and tests
• makemigrations + migrate — schema migrations generated from your models

One unified manage CLI runs every verb — and the same binary is your HTTP server. No separate worker, no glue scripts.

Batteries included

• Auto-admin — a full CRUD UI for every model the moment you define it: list, search, filters, bulk actions, inlines, and an audit trail. Zero code.
• Typed ORM — relations, aggregations, and migrations, with queries checked against your schema at compile time.
• APIs — DRF-style ViewSets + serializers, OpenAPI, JSON:API.
• Auth & security — sessions, JWT, OAuth2/OIDC, plus production middleware (CORS, CSP, rate limiting, CSRF).
• And the rest — background jobs, email, caching, media/storage, multi-tenancy — all in the box.

Used Django, Laravel, or Rails before? The shapes will feel familiar — you just get Rust's speed, safety, and a single deployable binary.
