Code Generating a Safer Web with Rocket
summary
Rocket is a Rust web framework that uses procedural macros to generate compile‑time parsing, validation, and deserialization so there is no runtime introspection and no runtime errors for request handling. It enforces policies with request guards that only dispatch handlers when all guards pass, preventing mass‑assignment and auth bugs. The code generator produces the boilerplate, the server reaches sub‑microsecond latency and tens of thousands more requests/sec than Flask or Express in benchmarks, and thousands of users with dozens of companies run it in production.
