Transparent codegen
Everything Gize generates is normal Rust you can read, diff and edit. No runtime reflection, no proc-macro maze you can't escape.
Build your backend.
Keep it Rust.
From your first model to a complete API. Gize generates the structure, routes and migrations so you can focus on what makes your application yours.

PostgreSQL / SQLite / MySQL01 — How it works
One command. A complete starting point.
A resource is more than a model. Generate every layer together, with an explicit place for your business logic.
Explore the architecture- 01
Scaffold the project
gize new shopA Cargo project with the standard layout, config, DB pool, router, state and error handling. Compiles and serves an empty app.
- 02
Generate a resource
gize make crud Product name:StringRepository, service, DTO, handlers, routes, validation and tests, wired into the router automatically.
- 03
Apply migrations
gize migrateGenerate and apply SQL migrations for your models against PostgreSQL, SQLite or MySQL.
- 04
Run it
gize serveBoot the generated app and start hitting your GET/POST/PUT/DELETE endpoints.

02 — Differentiators
Less setup. More building.
The convenience of generators. The control of code in your own repository.
/ 02
Detachable batteries
Admin, auth and OpenAPI are opt-in crates, not a monolith you must swallow whole.
/ 03
Manifest-driven, not locked
gize.toml describes the app and powers gize sync, but your hand edits are always respected.
/ 04
Rust-native ergonomics
DTO validation, typed errors and async-first design map to how idiomatic Axum apps are already written.
03 — BUILT WITH GIZE
Real apps, built with Gize
Complete projects you can clone, read and run: generated code you own, extended where it counts.
Chat
A real-time group chat: WebSockets, SQLite persistence, JWT auth and a React admin. The generated echo endpoint is hand-extended into a live broadcast.
View on GitHubBlog
A full-stack blog API with users → posts → comments: relationships, validation, JWT auth and an auto-generated OpenAPI spec at /docs, plus a React admin.
View on GitHubShop
A REST API with users and products CRUD on PostgreSQL, built on Axum + SQLx, scaffolded in about five minutes with gize new and gize make crud.
View on GitHubTickets API
A ticketing API with related venues, shows, orders and tickets. Generated with Gize 0.9.5, it includes PostgreSQL, JWT, OpenAPI, a React admin and a schema evolution example with backfill.
View on GitHubSocial API
A social network API built with Gize 0.9.10: profiles, posts, comments, likes and follows. The generated code is extended with ownership checks, private messages and rules preventing duplicates.

How Gize compares
We borrow the experience (conventions, scaffolding, productivity), not the magic.
| Tool | Strength | Where Gize differs |
|---|---|---|
| Plain Axum (Rust) | Minimal, unopinionated HTTP framework. | Uses Axum underneath, then adds layout, DB, migrations and scaffolding. You still get plain Axum code. |
| Actix Web (Rust) | Very fast, mature, actor-influenced. | Starts on Axum for a gentler ecosystem; the framework layer is abstracted so an Actix target stays a future option. |
| Loco (Rust) | The closest “Rails for Rust”, SeaORM-based. | Bets on generated-code transparency over a heavy runtime, and SQLx-first over SeaORM. |
| Rails (Ruby) | The generator/convention gold standard. | Same generator DNA, compiled and type-safe. Slower edit→run in exchange for performance and safety. |
| Laravel (PHP) | Artisan generators, great DX. | gize make ... is our artisan, producing explicit Rust repositories and typed queries instead of PHP. |
