Hello fellow Rustaceans :crab:,

Iโ€™m 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::pin instances 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-checks and 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!
