RNode Server ​

🚀 Experimental Project: High-performance Node.js server built with Rust, featuring Express-like API with advanced middleware support.

Overview ​

RNode Server is a full-featured server implementation built from the ground up with Rust and Node.js bindings. The goal is to create a production-ready server with all the necessary configurations for fast deployment and optimal performance.

Key Features ​

• 🚀 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

Performance ​

Quick Start ​

Installation ​

import { createApp } from 'rnode-server';

const app = createApp();
const port = 3000;

app.get('/hello', (req, res) => {
  res.json({ message: 'Hello World!' });
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`🚀 Server started on port ${port}`);
});

Architecture ​

RNode Server uses a unique hybrid approach where all JavaScript code execution happens through Rust backend. This architecture provides:

• 🚀 Performance: Rust handles HTTP parsing, routing, and response generation at native speed
• 🔒 Security: Rust's memory safety prevents common server vulnerabilities
• ⚡ Efficiency: Minimal overhead between HTTP layer and JavaScript execution
• 🔄 Revolutionary Promise System: No more polling - instant notification when promises complete
