What is Rocket?

Rocket is a type-safe Rust web framework for APIs and apps with a focus on usability. This gallery lists 171 open-source projects built with Rocket, most of them in DevTools, APIs and Authentication, ranked by GitHub stars so the most-adopted repositories come first.

How projects are selected

Projects are public GitHub repositories found with the GitHub search query “topic:rocket-rs” and at least 10 stars. Each repository is checked against Rocket’s languages and ecosystem before it is categorized, and stars, forks and last-commit dates come straight from the GitHub API, refreshed daily (current snapshot: October 6, 2026). Nothing here is paid placement.
