# Nexus 6 - Rust Platform Rewrite

The final evolution of the Nexus platform, completely rewritten in Rust for maximum performance, type safety, and reliability. This is a production-ready monorepo containing the Axum-based API, SvelteKit frontends, and infrastructure configuration.

## Overview

Nexus 6 represents the culmination of lessons learned from five previous iterations, now built on a rock-solid Rust foundation:

- **Nexus 1-3**: Django + Graphene (Python)
- **Nexus 4**: Rust experiment (abandoned)
- **Nexus 5**: Django + Strawberry GraphQL (Python)
- **Nexus 6**: Full Rust rewrite with Axum + async-graphql
