Hey there, I'm Ryan, a full-stack developer with nearly 25 years of building for the web. From Perl to PHP, through the jQuery years, and into the modern JavaScript era. I've watched tooling evolve, and for a while now, I've felt we could do better.
So I built rari, a high-performance React Server Components framework powered by a Rust runtime.
The numbers (vs Next.js):
- 46.5x higher throughput under load (74,662 vs 1,605 req/sec)
- 9.1x faster average response times (0.43ms vs 3.92ms)
- 46.6x faster latency under load (0.67ms vs 31.17ms)
- 53% smaller client bundles (264 KB vs 562 KB)
- 3.7x faster production builds (0.93s vs 3.47s)
rari isn't just another Node.js framework with optimizations, it's a fundamental rethinking of how React applications should run. By aligning with React's actual design intentions (server components by default, correct 'use server' semantics, true SSR), we unlocked performance gains that aren't incremental — they're exponential.
I believe in the power of open source. The web's greatest innovations have come from open collaboration. I built rari because performance shouldn't be an afterthought, and because the web deserves frameworks that are both fast and beautiful to work with.
Together, we can prove that performance and developer experience aren't mutually exclusive.
Thank you for considering supporting this work!
