Toasty — async ORM for Rust now published to crates.io (tokio-rs project)

Toasty, the async ORM for Rust under the tokio-rs umbrella, reached its initial crates.io release on April 3 2026. It supports PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL (SQL) and DynamoDB (NoSQL). Toasty treats the application schema as a graph, decoupled from the database schema, and translates application-level queries into database-specific operations. It prioritizes ease of use over abstraction — the user writes Toasty statements against an application schema and the engine handles database-specific SQL generation. Unlike sqlx (which ODS currently uses), Toasty provides higher-level ORM semantics with schema-based code generation.
