Build reliable network applications without compromising speed.
Tokio is an asynchronous runtime for the Rust programming language. It provides the building blocks needed for writing network applications. It gives the flexibility to target a wide range of systems, from large servers with dozens of cores to small embedded devices.
Built by the community, for the community.
Reliable
Fast
Building on top of Rust, Tokio provides a multi-threaded, work-stealing scheduler. Applications can process hundreds of thousands of requests per second with minimal overhead.
Easy
async/await reduces the complexity of writing asynchronous applications. Paired with Tokio's utilities and vibrant ecosystem, writing applications is a breeze.
Flexible
The needs of a server application differ from that of an embedded device. Although Tokio comes with defaults that work well out of the box, it also provides the knobs needed to fine tune to different cases.
The stackIncluding I/O, timer, filesystem, synchronization, and scheduling facilities, the Tokio runtime is the foundation of asynchronous applications.
An HTTP client and server library supporting both the HTTP 1 and 2 protocols.
A boilerplate-free gRPC client and server library. The easiest way to expose and consume an API over the network.
Modular components for building reliable clients and servers. Includes retry, load-balancing, filtering, request-limiting facilities, and more.
Minimal portable API on top of the operating-system's evented I/O API.
Unified insight into the application and libraries. Provides structured, event-based, data collection and logging.
At the core, networking applications manipulate byte streams. Bytes provides a rich set of utilities for manipulating byte arrays.
