A Rust server framework with typed game logic, resilient networking, and infrastructure that scales only when you need it.
You do not need to understand every Elura crate before running a server. Generate an application first, then learn each piece while changing real code:
cargo install elura-cli
mkdir my-game && cd my-game
elura init all --dir .The generator creates editable application code, local configuration, Docker files, and Kubernetes manifests. Continue with the 10-minute quick start to configure development secrets and launch both processes.
Player client ──> Gateway ──> World ──> your typed handler

| Assemble shared state and dynamic discovery | Manual distributed setup |
| Add my first game command | World modules and routes |
| Build realtime rooms, AOI, prediction, or entity replication | Realtime gameplay |
| Add TCP, UDP, WebSocket, WebTransport, QUIC, or a custom client endpoint | Client transports |
| Add an Axum HTTP API or callback endpoint | Application HTTP services |
| Connect a Rust, C++, or C# client | Client SDKs |
| Understand generated files | Generated project |

Project status
The current documented version is v0.3.1, and this site tracks main-branch capabilities. Official Rust, C++20, and C# / Unity SDKs are maintained in separate GitHub repositories and are no longer generated by the CLI. The project remains pre-1.0: pin exact versions in production and review release notes and compatibility before upgrading.
