What problem does it solve?

Designing reliable Rust backends across Axum and Actix-web can be challenging without a clear architectural blueprint. This Skill consolidates patterns, conventions, and practical recipes to accelerate API development while maintaining quality and consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Pattern-based routing and organization for scalable APIs.
• Extractors, state management, and error handling to reduce boilerplate.
• Middleware and service-layer abstractions to separate concerns and improve testability.
• Use Case: Build a microservice with a health endpoint, CRUD handlers, and shared state.

Quick Start

Create a minimal Axum/Actix-web project structure with a health check route and a simple service layer to demonstrate routing, state, and error handling.
