Key capabilities

  • Enforce thread-safe state management using Arc and RwLock
  • Implement async-first request handlers
  • Define type-safe request extractors for validation
  • Compose middleware using Tower layers
  • Standardize error responses via IntoResponse

How it works

The skill uses Rust's async/await and trait-based composition to build web services, relying on extractors for request parsing and Tower layers for middleware.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
HTTP request with JSON payload
You get back
HTTP response with JSON body or error status

When to use domain-web

  • Designing Rust REST APIs
  • Managing state in web handlers
  • Implementing middleware

About this skill

Web Domain

Layer 3: Domain Constraints

Domain Constraints → Design Implications

Domain RuleDesign ConstraintRust Implication
Stateless HTTPNo request-local globalsState in extractors
ConcurrencyHandle many connectionsAsync, Send + Sync
Latency SLAFast responseEfficient ownership
SecurityInput validationType-safe extractors
ObservabilityRequest tracingtracing + tower layers

Critical Constraints

Async by Default

RULE: Web handlers must not block
WHY: Block one task = block many requests
RUST: async/await, spawn_blocking for CPU work

State Management

RULE: Shared state must be thread-safe
WHY: Handlers run on any thread
RUST: Arc<T>, Arc<RwLock<T>> for mutable

Request Lifecycle

RULE: Resources live only for request duration
WHY: Memory management, no leaks
RUST: Extractors, proper ownership

Trace Down ↓

From constraints to design (Layer 2):

"Need shared application state"
    ↓ m07-concurrency: Use Arc for thread-safe sharing
    ↓ m02-resource: Arc<RwLock<T>> for mutable state

"Need request validation"
    ↓ m05-type-driven: Validated extractors
    ↓ m06-error-handling: IntoResponse for errors

"Need middleware stack"
    ↓ m12-lifecycle: Tower layers
    ↓ m04-zero-cost: Trait-based composition

MiddlewareCross-cuttingTower layers
Shared stateApp configArc<AppState>

Code Pattern: Axum Handler

async fn handler(
    State(db): State<Arc<DbPool>>,
    Json(payload): Json<CreateUser>,
) -> Result<Json<User>, AppError> {
    let user = db.create_user(&payload).await?;
    Ok(Json(user))
}

// Error handling
impl IntoResponse for AppError {
    fn into_response(self) -> Response {
        let (status, message) = match self {
            Self::NotFound => (StatusCode::NOT_FOUND, "Not found"),
            Self::Internal(_) => (StatusCode::INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, "Internal error"),
        };
        (status, Json(json!({"error": message}))).into_response()
    }
}

When not to use it

  • Synchronous or blocking I/O operations in handlers
  • Request-local global state management

Prerequisites

Rusttokio runtime

Limitations

  • Handlers must not block the executor
  • Shared state must be Send + Sync

How it compares

Unlike manual request handling, this approach enforces memory safety and thread-safe state sharing through Rust's ownership model and specific crate patterns.
