Overview
Gize is a backend application ecosystem for Rust, inspired by the productivity of batteries-included frameworks but fully aligned with Rust's philosophy. Start here to understand what Gize is, why it exists, and where it's going.
CLI commands
Every gize command explained: new, make, migrate, serve, doctor and the quality wrappers.
Built-in user
The users resource every app is born with: model, migration and hardened register/login, /users/me and admin routes.
Vision
The problem, the audience, and how Gize compares to Axum, Actix, Loco, Rails and Laravel.
MVP
What the first release does, and deliberately does not do. The Definition of Done.
Roadmap
MVP → Alpha → Beta → RC → v1.0 → v2.0 across 18 months.
Architecture
The 10-crate Cargo workspace and the generated project layout.
Current status
Release candidate (1.0.0-rc.2): every 1.0 feature is in and the feature set has been frozen since 0.8.0. Generated apps run on PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQLite, and CI runs them end to end against real databases and on the Rust 1.85 minimum. Install the candidate with "cargo install gize --locked --version 1.0.0-rc.2" (without --version, cargo installs the latest stable 0.9.x). What remains before 1.0.0 is a validation report from a team outside the core.
