raisfast 0.2.23

Early Alpha — API may change before v1.0. Targeting stable v1.0 in Q3 2026.

Why raisfast?

Single binary, full capability One binary, no Node.js, no Docker, no runtime. Blog, ecommerce, wallet, and payment are native built-in — not plugin assemblies, but the skeleton itself.

Rust performance, zero-GC stability Sub-millisecond reads, zero performance degradation over time. No GC pauses, no memory leaks, no 3 AM OOM alerts.

4 plugin engines, inspired by Strapi JS, Rhai, Lua, and WASM — a full spectrum from scripting to compiled. Dynamic language productivity with a Rust performance foundation.

What's Built-In

Quick Start

# Clone
git clone https://github.com/RaisFast/raisfast.git
cd raisfast

# Build and run (SQLite, default)
cargo run --features "db-sqlite plugin-all search-tantivy"

# Server starts at http://localhost:9898
# Admin UI at http://localhost:9898/admin
# Swagger at http://localhost:9898/swagger-ui

First run

On first startup, raisfast automatically:

1. Creates all database tables
2. Seeds default roles, permissions, and site options
3. Starts serving API + Admin UI

Create an admin user:

cargo run -- db seed admin@example.com admin your-password

Docker

docker build -t raisfast .
docker run -p 9898:9898 -v ./data:/app/data raisfast

Layering

Handler → Service → Model (SQL)
                ↘ External: Storage / Cache / Search / EventBus

Handlers contain no business logic. Services orchestrate models and external services. Models contain only data structures and SQL queries.

Switching Databases

Zero code changes. Just change the feature flag:

# SQLite (default)
cargo build --features "db-sqlite"

# PostgreSQL
cargo build --features "db-postgres"

# MySQL
cargo build --features "db-mysql"

Plugin System
