Title: Announcing actix_tower v0.1.3: Bringing the Tower Ecosystem to Actix Web
โ Rust ๐ 2026-07-07 ๐ค surdeus ๐๏ธ 2Hello fellow Rustaceans
,
Iโm excited to share the release of actix_tower v0.1.3!
Actix Web is famously fast and mature, but many developers find themselves reinventing the wheel for middleware that already exists in the broader tower ecosystem. actix_tower solves this by safely wrapping Send + Sync Tower middleware for use inside Actix Web's !Send thread-local workers.
We just completed a massive overhaul focused on enterprise-grade reliability and performance:
- Performance: Bridging overhead is mathematically constrained. We replaced all
Box::pininstances on the hot path with stack-allocated, static-dispatch futures. - Reliability: We built a 70+ automated test suite spanning Security & Hardening, Concurrency & Edge Cases, Performance & Regressions, and Stress & Chaos engineering.
- Stability: Fully guarded by
cargo-semver-checksand an extensive CI matrix testing up to Edition 2024 on Nightly.
If you are building microservices in Actix and want to leverage tower-http (Tracing, Timeouts, etc.) seamlessly, I'd love for you to try it out!
