Rocket/nightly? about hecate HOT 3 CLOSED

Per voice, the server was originally written with Iron as the backend.

Due to problems with the underlying Iron codebase itself - around it handles threads and integrated with Hyper, I moved to Nickel and then settled on Rocket. This was a good move in hindsight as Iron is no longer maintained as of 3 days ago: iron/iron#576 (comment)

Talking to the rocket user group on IRC leads me to believe they are being fairly careful about major breaking changes where possible to the external API but as you mentioned above do plan to break once Hyper/Tokio threads stabilize.

I only looked briefly at Gotham but shied away from it as it is still a 0.1 release and had very poor DB connection pooling at the time.

I would propose we stay with rocket with a hard version lock unless we run into a concrete problem.

I'd suggest to check actix, it is fast and runs on stable

from hecate.

Per above going to stick with Rocket unless we run into a significant blocker with the current framework.
