Single static binary
Copy one file and run it. No runtime, no interpreter, no node_modules — about 660 KB.
v0.0.1 · Pure Rust · Zero runtime dependencies
A backend framework that ships as a single file.
A pure-Rust web framework: embedded database, auto-generated APIs, server-side templates, and built-in semantic search — in one static binary with no runtime dependencies and no build step.

Zero runtime dependencies
Pure std Rust. HTTP, JSON, the database, templates, and markdown are all written from scratch.
Embedded database
A crash-safe, WAL-style relational store on a copy-on-write B+tree. No separate database server.
Auto-generated APIs
Declare collections; get REST endpoints, validation, and a self-describing manifest for free.
Server-side templates
A real SSR engine with a client-first, no-build frontend. Edit a file, reload, done.
Built-in semantic search
Embeddings on every collection, so similarity search works out of the box.
Define data. Get an API.
Declare a collection and the framework generates REST endpoints, validation, and a self-describing manifest — no handwritten routes. Data updates at runtime; you never rebuild the binary to change it.
How it works →# backend/collections.toml
[[collection]]
name = "posts"
[[collection.field]]
name = "title"
type = "text"
required = true
[[collection.field]]
name = "body"
type = "text"
embed = true # indexed for semantic search
# Generated automatically:
# GET/POST /api/collections/posts/records
# GET /api/collections/posts/records?search=rust0
