Full-Stack Rust. Laravel ergonomics.
Rok gives you everything for production web apps: a fluent ORM, JWT auth, background jobs, caching, mail, WebSockets, search, i18n, feature flags, telemetry, and an interactive CLI — all on Axum 0.8 and SQLx 0.8.
Everything production needs
One workspace. Zero glue code.
Powerful CLI
50+ commands: scaffold projects, generate code, run migrations, manage queues, launch TUI dashboards, and integrate AI agents.
Fluent ORM
Eloquent-inspired query builder with relationships, pagination, soft deletes, scopes, factories, and PostgreSQL / MySQL / SQLite support.
Auth Suite
JWT, session, social OAuth (Google, GitHub, Discord), magic-link, RBAC, ACL, policies — all wired with proc-macro guards.
Zero-Cost Performance
Built on Axum 0.8 with async throughout, compile-time checked SQL via SQLx, and single-binary deployment.
Mail & Notifications
SMTP, Postmark, Resend drivers. Multi-channel notifications (email, Slack, webhook) with an elegant Mailable trait.
Background Jobs
PostgreSQL and Redis-backed queue with retries, delays, dead-letter queues, and cron scheduling.
File Storage
Driver-swappable storage (Local, S3) with model-attached media, streaming uploads, and signed URLs.
WebSockets
Real-time pub/sub with built-in presence channels and room management on top of Axum WebSocket.
Full-Text Search
Unified search API for PostgreSQL FTS, Meilisearch, and Typesense with derive-based indexing.
Security
AES-256-GCM encryption, Argon2/Bcrypt/Scrypt hashing, CORS, CSP/HSTS headers, rate limiting, and distributed locks.
Observability
OpenTelemetry traces, metrics, and structured logs with OTLP exporter and Prometheus scrape endpoint.
Feature Flags
Database-backed flags with percentage rollout, user targeting, and segment rules — flip features without deploys.
Expressive APIs,
Rust's guarantees.
Rok's proc-macros and fluent builders give you Rails-/Laravel-style developer happiness without sacrificing type safety, memory safety, or performance.
- Compile-time SQL checking via SQLx macros
- Proc-macro auth guards (#[require_auth], #[require_role])
- Derive-based validation and serialization
- Single-binary, zero-dependency deployment
