Pavex: re-imaging what API development looks like in Rust
summary
Pavex is a new Rust web framework built in about 12 months that aims to make API development ergonomic by generating a server SDK and executable from a declarative blueprint + transpiler so routing, DI and middleware are validated at compile time and emitted as plain Rust crates. It uses nightly rustdoc JSON for compile‑time reflection, implements three lifecycles (singleton / request / transient), produces domain‑level error messages, and the demo shows handlers, route params and middleware working end‑to‑end; currently open in a closed beta under Apache 2.0.
