Elura

A modular Rust framework for online game servers.

Documentation · API reference · Crates.io

Elura separates client connections from game logic. Gateway processes own connections and sessions; World processes execute commands and manage player state. They can scale independently or run together as a monolith.

Features

TCP, UDP, WebSocket, WebTransport, and QUIC transports.
Distributed Gateway and World deployment, or a single-process monolith.
Rooms, fixed-step simulation, AOI, replication, prediction, and lag compensation.
Optional Redis, SQL, Kubernetes, identity, notification, OTP, and payment integrations.

Quick start

Install the CLI and scaffold an application:

cargo install elura-cli --version 0.2.5
elura skill install
elura init all --dir .

Or add the framework directly:

[dependencies]
elura = "0.2.5"

The skill is installed in .agents/skills/elura-app-development for project-level coding agents. See the documentation for concepts, configuration, crate features, deployment, and tutorials.

Examples

tiny-network-game: an authoritative multiplayer movement demo.
realtime-gameplay: a transport-neutral gameplay pipeline walkthrough.

Development

Rust 1.97 or newer is required. Run the full verification suite with:

make verify

This checks formatting, Clippy, tests, Rustdoc, and package contents.
