About the project

An async ORM for Rust from the tokio team: models are defined as structs with a derive macro, supporting SQLite/Turso, PostgreSQL, MySQL and DynamoDB. It does not hide the target database's capabilities and generates queries around its indexes and constraints.

Useful for

Define User and Todo models and run CRUD queries against PostgreSQL from an async Rust service
Connect DynamoDB and use generated query methods based on the table's indexed keys
Map the application data model onto an existing database schema via extra annotations

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
