Runtime Accelerated Rendering Infrastructure
rari is a React Server Components framework running on a Rust runtime. It has three layers: a Rust runtime (HTTP server, RSC renderer, and router with embedded V8), a React framework (app router, server actions, streaming/Suspense), and a build toolchain (Rolldown-powered Vite bundling, tsgo type checking). You write standard React, the runtime underneath is Rust instead of Node.
- App Router - File-based routing with layouts, loading states, and error boundaries
- Server-Side Rendering - Pre-rendered HTML with instant hydration
- React Server Components - Server components by default, client components when you need them
- Rust-powered runtime - HTTP server, RSC renderer, and routing written in Rust with embedded V8
- Zero-config setup - Works out of the box with pre-built binaries
- Hot module reloading - Instant feedback during development
- node_modules support - Standard npm package resolution without
npm:specifier - TypeScript-first - Full type safety across server/client boundary
- Cross-platform - Supports macOS, Linux, and Windows
- Streaming SSR - Progressive rendering with Suspense boundaries
- Loading States - Automatic loading skeletons during navigation
