# Welcome to Thruster Thruster is a middleware based rust server framework based loosely on Koa and Express from the NodeJS ecosystem. It tries to be easy to use without too much "magic," i.e. things hidden from the developer. Oftentimes, magic is great, but sometimes peaking behind the curtain leaves us less enchanted than when we began. Thruster aims to make it clear what's happening and limit the amount of hand waving by the framework while maintain ease of use. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
