BridgeRust

Embex - BridgeTime - BridgeRust Framework - Discord - Contributing

BridgeRust is a monorepo shipping two AI-infrastructure products — Embex and BridgeTime — and the BridgeRust framework that powers them: a unified system for building cross-language Rust libraries deployable to Python and Node.js.

Products

Embex — Universal Vector Database Client

One API. Seven databases. 4× faster than native clients.

Embex abstracts vector database fragmentation into a single, production-ready API. Switch from LanceDB to Qdrant to Pinecone by changing one config line — no code rewrites. Built on a Rust core with SIMD acceleration.

pip install embex              # Python
npm install @bridgerust/embex  # Node.js

Supported providers: LanceDB • Qdrant • Pinecone • Chroma • PgVector • Milvus • Weaviate

→ Full documentation • Docs site • Quick Start

BridgeTime — Datetime Toolkit

A Rust-powered Day.js/Moment-style datetime toolkit for Python and Node.js. Same familiar API, backed by a fast Rust core.

pip install bridgetime              # Python
npm install @bridgerust/bridgetime  # Node.js

BridgeRust Framework

The BridgeRust framework is the foundation both products are built on. It eliminates the complexity of managing separate PyO3 (Python) and napi-rs (Node.js) bindings by providing a single #[export] macro.
