High-performance Node.js server built with Rust, featuring Express-like API with advanced middleware support, authentication, and database integration
npm install rnode-server
> 🚀 Experimental Project: This is an experimental attempt to create a high-performance Node.js server built with Rust, featuring Express-like API with advanced middleware support.
High-performance Node.js server built with Rust and integrated through Neon FFI.
- 🚀 High Performance - Built with Rust and Node.js
- 🔧 Express-like API - Familiar routing and middleware
- 📁 Static File Serving - With compression and caching
- 📤 File Upload - Multipart form data support
- 📥 File Download - Secure file serving
- 🎨 Template Engine - Tera templates with inheritance
- 🔒 HTTPS Support - SSL/TLS encryption with certificate support
- 🌐 IP Detection - Client IP from various proxy headers
- 🔌 Express Middleware - Use existing Express plugins
- 📊 Built-in Monitoring - Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards
- 🔄 Revolutionary Promise System - Zero CPU waste promise management
- 🧠 Smart State Management - Efficient Rust-based state handling
- 💾 Zero Memory Leaks - Automatic promise cleanup
- 🎯 TypeScript Support - Full TypeScript definitions
- 🌍 CORS Support - Configurable cross-origin resource sharing
- 🍪 Cookie Management - Advanced cookie handling with helpers
- 🔧 Parameter System - Global and route-specific parameter management
- 🚦 Router Support - Modular routing with nested routers
- 📝 HTTP Utilities - Built-in client utilities (httpRequest, httpBatch)
- 🔍 Error Handling - Comprehensive error codes and handling
``bash`
npm install rnode-server
`javascript
const { createServer } = require('rnode-server');
const app = createServer();
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('Hello from RNode Server!');
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Server running on port 3000');
});
`
> Note: Performance tests were conducted on a personal laptop. Results may vary depending on server configuration, hardware, and environment.
| Metric | Express (:4547/hello) | RNode Server (:4546/hello`) | Difference |
|--------------------------|-------------------------|------------------------------|-------------------------------------|
| Requests/sec (RPS) | 9,315 | 25,378 | ~2.7× faster |
| Average time/request | 10.7 ms | 3.9 ms | ~2.7× faster |
| p50 (median) | 10 ms | 4 ms | ~2.5× faster |
| p95 | 14 ms | 7 ms | ~2× faster |
| Maximum (max) | 18 ms | 13 ms | Shorter tail |
| Transfer rate | 3.3 MB/s | 6.6 MB/s | ~2× higher |
| Total transferred | 3.63 MB | 2.66 MB | Express sent more (headers/wrapper) |
- ~2.7× faster request processing
- ~2.7× lower average response time
- ~2× better transfer rates
- Shorter latency tails for better user experience
- Efficient memory usage with Rust backend
