tako
A pragmatic Rust framework for building cohesive network services across HTTP, WebSocket, gRPC, TCP, UDP, and Unix sockets.
What is tako?
Tako is a lightweight and extensible Rust web framework built on Tokio and Hyper, designed for services that go beyond plain HTTP. It enables developers to build one cohesive application across multiple transports like HTTP, WebSocket, gRPC, TCP, UDP, and Unix sockets with a single routing, middleware, and observability model. The framework addresses the complexity of gluing together multiple libraries for different protocols, offering a unified solution for modern network services.
Rust developers building API backends, realtime applications, protocol gateways, internal platforms, telemetry collectors, control planes, or edge-facing services that require support for multiple communication protocols.
Developers choose Tako for its pragmatic, all-in-one approach to multi-transport services, eliminating the need to integrate and maintain several partially overlapping libraries. Its dual runtime support (Tokio/Compio), built-in platform primitives, and extensive middleware ecosystem provide a coherent and ergonomic development experience without sacrificing performance.
