Bento Logo

Bento

A lightweight, secure backend as a service (BaaS) built with Rust.

Overview

Bento provides a robust API for user authentication, database features, file storage, and message passing. It's designed to be integrated into your application stack with minimal setup, offering secure and convenient authentication/storage/messaging primitives out of the box.

Key Features

  • User Registration & Authentication: Secure account creation and login flows
  • Session Management: Sessions with unique IDs automatic expiration
  • Role-Based Access Control: Simple user/admin permission system
  • Database Features (SQL & Non-SQL): Upcoming
  • File Storage: Upcoming
  • Message Passing: Upcoming

Frontend & API

Bento ships with a Leptos frontend by default, providing a full-stack solution out of the box. Leptos is a Rust web framework that offers fine-grained reactivity and server-side rendering, making for a performant and well-integrated default.

For developers who want to build custom frontends (React, Vue, mobile apps, etc.), the REST API can be exposed by enabling the rest-api feature flag:

cargo leptos watch --features rest-api

(or similar for other commands, such as build)

API Endpoints (when rest-api feature is enabled)

  • POST /api/v1/register - Create a new user account (needs admin privileges)
  • POST /api/v1/login - Authenticate and receive a session token

Getting Started

To run this server, either run the binary or download the source and run the following:

# Install cargo leptos if you haven't already
cargo install --locked cargo-leptos

# Run the server (SSR)
cargo leptos watch

This runs a dev server with hot reloading. To build an optimized production build, run:

cargo leptos build --release

Tech Stack (Credits)

Bento is built in Rust. This is mostly because I simply prefer the language, but also comes with advantages such as performant, native code and memory/type safety.

This project would not be possible without the following awesome open-source projects:
