We use it at Sentry for one of our services and the experience has been great. The best part by far is that you can benefit from async io handling without having to write every one of your views in an async fashion. All the async complexity is offloaded into the extractors and the response sending.

Is this a new service built from scratch in Actix, or did you migrate the service from something else?

[the_mitsuhiko]

New service entirely.

Do you have any performance numbers, or a prior version of this service to compare it to? I'm curious how async in Rust compares to synchronous code in real-world applications, especially given its yet-incomplete state.

[the_mitsuhiko]

Absolutely no idea since we did not replace an existing service. From everything I have seen from tests performance is not a concern here and our bottlenecks are elsewhere entirely.
