Phat Stack

PostgreSQL, HTMX, Axum Web, and Tailwind CSS

Example Project

For a more in-depth project using this stack, see my Notion clone.

I also built beancount.bot with this stack, and the repository is open source (though it has a restrictive license).

Benefits

  • app compiles to a very small statically linked musl binary, allowing super fast time to deployment
  • SQLx provides type-safe SQL queries at compile time when using the query_as! macro
  • DX with live-reloading is actually quite nice
  • there's a lot less complexity here compared to a typical React/Express stack or similar, and even less compared to a Laraval/Django setup where you might have an ORM and/or a templating language.
  • PWA-ready
  • Stripe integration hath been integrated
  • support for anonymous users enables very low-friction conversion (see beancount.bot for a live example)

Bugs

  • There is a home-grown auth framework in here which I certainly use, but should be audited by a security expert (see mod session, mod auth, mod crypto, mod pw). It also has a fairly insecure JWT implementation which does not support refresh tokens and uses long-lived JWTs.
  • I'm not using a templating library; implementers of Component::render need to beware of XSS sanitization concerns, and call ammonia::clean for user-provided strings.
