illuminate

Perhaps one day browsers will run PHP in a sandbox. Until then, backend architecture still decides the outcome, and Illuminate still shines behind Paravel’s crown.

This project is an early-stage foundation and is not feature-complete yet.

illuminate is a Rust-native runtime core crate for service-oriented applications with explicit SQL backend selection for ORM-like domain layers.

Current release focuses on typed database entrypoints around sqlx with explicit backend intent:

DB::Mysql
DB::Psql
DB::Sqlite

Scope

illuminate intentionally provides connection primitives only.

Connection pooling is treated as a higher-level concern and should live in the application runtime/service layer where lifecycle, limits, and workload policy are known.

Install

[dependencies]
illuminate = "0.1.0"

Example

use illuminate::{connect, DB};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), illuminate::Error> {
    let _conn = connect(DB::Psql, "postgres://user:pass@127.0.0.1/app").await?;
    Ok(())
}
