alperenkaplan / axum-graphql

A base setup for your next GraphQL API in Rust

About this project

This is a relatively simple template that combines the following crates into a base for future work:

• axum
• async-graphql
• dotenv
• metrics
• opentelemetry
• tracing
• tokio

What you can use this for

If you plan to implement a GraphQL API in Rust, you can use this template as a starting point.

It comes with metrics and tracing pre-configured. Setting those up is usually a lot of boiler plate and differs from web server to web server. In this case, you don't have to worry about these aspects of your service at all.

What is included?

• Setup of axum
• A health endpoint (useful for liveness and readyness checks on Kubernetes)
• A simple GraphQL API
• Tracing
  • stdout
  • Jaeger agent
• Metrics
  • Prometheus endpoint included
  • Basic request tracking
    • No. of requests
    • Duration
• A basic Dockerfile for deployment
