feat: add Rust support to Crossplane projects by jonasz-lasut · Pull Request #374 · crossplane/cli

jonasz-lasut · 2026-09-17T10:24:10Z

Description of your changes

Add first-class Rust support to Crossplane projects: a rust schema language that generates typed models, a crossplane function generate --language rust scaffold, and a builder so crossplane project build packages a Rust function. Functions are written with function-sdk-rust.

Docs PR: docs(cli): add a Rust tab to the projects get-started guide docs#1156
Testing guide: docs/rust-testing-guide.md, an S3 bucket walkthrough from project init to a running function
Other example composition with function-wasm built on top of function-sdk-rust - https://github.com/jonasz-lasut/pluggable-composition-rust-demo

Changes

Schema generation (`internal/schemas/generator/rust.go`, `rust_naming.go`)

Generates Rust models from CRDs and XRDs, and from Kubernetes OpenAPI documents, so Kubernetes built-in types, XRD types, CRD types and provider types are all covered
A native Go emitter over the same OpenAPI pipeline the Go and KCL generators use. No Docker, no Rust toolchain: generating models for provider-aws-s3 takes a few seconds
Outputs one Cargo crate, crossplane-models, under schemas/rust/. It depends on serde and serde_json only, not on kube or k8s-openapi
Each API group and version is a module named after the reversed group, so imports are per API version: crossplane_models::io::upbound::aws::s3::v1beta2::Bucket
One file per kind: a kind, its list and the Spec/Status helpers named after it share a file, and the module re-exports them, so file layout is invisible to users. The shared Kubernetes types (ObjectMeta, Status, ...) are the exception. Every source writes them, from either flow, and the manager copies one source over another without deleting, so both flows emit them identically: never as a resource, each in a file of its own
Models are lenient, because a function reads partial observed state and writes partial desired state:
- every field is an Option with skip_serializing_if, so desired state contains only the fields a function sets
- string enums stay String, with the allowed values in the field's documentation, so a value added by a newer provider doesn't break deserialization
- unknown fields are ignored, except where the schema allows them: an object with named properties plus additionalProperties or x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields keeps the rest in a flattened additional_properties map, so reading a resource into a model and writing it back loses nothing
Properties that map to one Rust identifier (proxyURL and proxyUrl in prometheus-operator, mirrorPercent and mirror_percent in Istio) get a numeric suffix and keep their own names on the wire
A schema without a type name, which is what a CRD without spec.names.listKind gives its list (every Knative and Tekton CRD), is dropped, as the Go generator drops it
A resource type has API_VERSION and KIND constants, and its Default fills both in
Output is deterministic: two independent generations of k8s v1.37 + provider-aws-s3 + Cilium CRDs + an XRD (377 files) are byte-identical

The only change outside the generator is in manager.postProcessForLanguage, which rebuilds lib.rs and every mod.rs from the directory tree after each source is copied in. The manager merges every source into one tree and a generator run only sees its own source, so the module declarations have to be derived from the merged result.

Function template (`cmd/crossplane/function/generate.go`, `templates/rust/`)

crossplane function generate <name> --language rust
Cargo.toml with the SDK dependencies and, when the project has Rust models, a path dependency on crossplane-models. This plays the role of replace in the Go template and file: in the Python one
Rust configuration: rust-toolchain.toml with clippy and rustfmt, and a [lints] table
An example FunctionRunnerService that reports a result, with a test
The package is named after the function; its binary is always function

Function builder (`internal/project/functions/rust.go`)

Detects a Rust function by its Cargo.toml
Rejects an architecture other than amd64 and arm64 before starting a container
Follows symlinks in the function directory, which is how functions can share a crate
Compiles with cargo in docker.io/library/rust:1-bookworm, staging the function and schemas/rust at their project-relative paths so the path dependency resolves
Builds every architecture in one container of the host's architecture. The foreign architecture gets Debian's cross gcc, which linking and aws-lc-sys (from the SDK's TLS stack) need. Nothing runs under emulation
Ships only the binary, as /function on gcr.io/distroless/cc-debian12:nonroot, running as nonroot:nonroot with 9443 exposed. The build image is bookworm because the runtime image is, and the binary links against the build image's glibc
Lets cargo decide what the binary is ([[bin]], src/main.rs or src/bin), and fails if the package builds anything other than exactly one
Pins the build to the image's toolchain, so the scaffold's rust-toolchain.toml doesn't make rustup download another one
Stops the build container with a context that can't be cancelled. Without that, a render that hit its timeout left the container compiling

Things worth a reviewer's attention

rust is part of the default language set. A project that doesn't set spec.schemas.languages gets Rust models too. Generation is native and fast, so I left it in
A hand-written emitter rather than an existing tool. I ran the alternatives against this repository's test data. kopium emits kube-derive types, which pull kube, k8s-openapi and schemars into every function, makes required fields non-Option and string enums closed, and reads CRDs only. openapi-model-generator emits dotted type names (pub struct Io.k8s.api.core.v1.Container) that don't compile, and drops allOf-wrapped refs to serde_json::Value. Both are Rust binaries, which would need Docker or cargo install where the Go and JSON generators need neither.
I compiled generated crates with RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings" by hand for testing: the full Kubernetes v1.37 models, nine provider-aws packages together (586 files, 394k lines), and the CRDs of Istio, prometheus-operator, Knative, Tekton, Kyverno, Argo, cert-manager, Flux, Gateway API, Cilium and KEDA to find possible edge-cases in more complex CRDs
No build cache. A Rust function is compiled from source in a fresh container on every project build, and composition render in a project rebuilds embedded functions on every run. That is 1 to 2 minutes for two architectures, which overruns render's default --timeout 1m. The docs PR and the guide say to pass --timeout 5m, and the guide shows rendering against a locally running function (about a second). I measured a named Docker volume holding CARGO_HOME and a per-function target directory: 109 s cold, 9 s warm. I left it out because it only pays off once unchanged models stop being rewritten (75 s when they are, since cargo fingerprints path dependencies by mtime), and that is the schema manager behavior below. Happy to follow up with it.

Testing

crossplane project build builds Rust functions
crossplane function generate <name> --language rust creates a template that passes cargo build, cargo test, cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings with no edits
Rust schemas are generated for all project dependencies (providers, CRDs over git and HTTP, Kubernetes APIs, XRDs)
Generated types are plain structs that round-trip through serde; a function's tests assert the exact desired JSON
Built functions run correctly in Kubernetes: pushed to a registry and installed on a kind cluster, the function served gRPC over mTLS and a namespaced XR composed a namespaced Bucket and BucketVersioning
Built images run as nonroot:nonroot, serve gRPC on 9443, and add only /function to the base image
The get-started guide's WebApp example, written in Rust, renders to exactly the output the docs page shows
The same CLI generates the same models when run repeatedly
nix flake check passes (run with a local Nix rather than through nix.sh)

I have:

Add `rust` as a schema language, so a project's XRDs, its dependencies' CRDs and the Kubernetes built-ins it depends on are generated into a serde-typed Cargo crate under schemas/rust. A composition function written with function-sdk-rust consumes it as a path dependency and needs nothing from the SDK to do so: each resource carries its own apiVersion and kind through API_VERSION/KIND consts and a Default impl, rather than a trait the SDK would have to define. The emitter is native Go over the existing OpenAPI pipeline, like the Go and KCL generators, so generating Rust needs no Docker. It reuses goCollectOpenAPIs, goAddDefaults and goRemoveValidationOnlyCombinators. Shape of the generated crate: - One crate, with module paths mirroring the component schema names, so Kubernetes types land where a k8s-openapi user expects them. - One file per kind: a kind, its list and the types named after it (PodSpec, PodStatus) share a file, and the module re-exports every file, so the layout is invisible to users. lib.rs and every mod.rs are rebuilt from the directory in the manager's post-processing, because every source's models are copied into one crate and a generator run only ever sees its own source. - The shared Kubernetes types are the exception. Every source writes them, the CRD flow and the OpenAPI flow alike, and the manager copies one source over another without deleting. So they are emitted the same way by both flows: never as a resource, each in a file of its own. - Every field is an Option that skips serialization when unset, so a function's desired state claims only the fields it set. Enums stay strings, so a value a newer server starts sending cannot break deserializing an observed resource. - An object with named properties that allows others, through additionalProperties or x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields, keeps them in a flattened additional_properties map, so reading a resource into a model and writing it back loses nothing. - Properties that map to one Rust identifier (proxyURL and proxyUrl) get a numeric suffix and keep their own names on the wire. - A schema without a type name, which is what a CRD without listKind gives its list, is dropped, as the Go generator drops it. - Every module of models is behind a Cargo feature named after its path (io-upbound-m-aws-s3-v1beta1), all of them on by default. A function that imports a few groups from a crate holding many can turn the defaults off and list those: nine provider-aws packages take 2m46s to check, the one group a function typically imports 8s. A feature enables the features of the modules its models refer to, found by scanning the absolute crate paths the emitter writes, so the shared Kubernetes types never need listing. The module is what is gated, rather than the types in it, which is what lets rustc tell a function importing from a disabled module which feature to enable. The manifest is rebuilt along with the module declarations, since both describe the merged crate. - References that close a cycle are boxed, which is what the recursive JSONSchemaProps needs to have a finite size. The tests check in Go what a Rust compiler would reject: a type declared twice in a module, a field declared twice in a struct, an identifier that is a bare underscore, module declarations that do not match the tree, and a feature that does not enable every module its models refer to. They run the repository's CRD and OpenAPI test data through both flows into one crate, in both orders. Signed-off-by: Jonasz Łasut-Balcerzak <jonasz@upbound.io>

Add rust as a language of crossplane function generate. The scaffold is a function-sdk-rust project: a Cargo package named after the function with a binary called function, a FunctionRunnerService that reports a result, a test for it, and a path dependency on the crossplane-models crate the rust schema language generates into schemas/rust, when that crate exists. The path dependency plays the role of the replace directive in the Go template and the file: reference in the Python one, so the function needs no models symlink. A comment on it says how to compile only the models the function imports. The scaffold also carries the project's Rust configuration: a rust-toolchain.toml naming the components that format and lint it, and a lints table in Cargo.toml. It passes cargo fmt, cargo test and cargo clippy with warnings denied as generated. No Cargo.lock is shipped. Cargo writes one on the first build, and a lock file in the template would have to track every SDK release. The README says to commit it: the build uses the lock file when there is one.

Teach crossplane project build to build a function-sdk-rust project, identified by its Cargo.toml. The function is compiled with cargo in the official Rust image, along with the crossplane-models crate it depends on by path, and the binary is appended to distroless cc as /function. Every architecture is built in one container of the host's architecture: an architecture other than the container's own gets Debian's cross gcc, which is what linking and crates with C code (aws-lc-sys, pulled in by the SDK's TLS stack) need. Nothing runs under emulation. The build image is Debian bookworm because the runtime image is, and the binary links against the build image's glibc. Cargo decides what the function's binary is, since a binary can come from [[bin]], src/main.rs or src/bin. A package that builds anything other than exactly one is an error. The build always uses the image's toolchain: a rust-toolchain.toml in the function, which the scaffold ships, would otherwise have rustup download another one on every build. An architecture the build script does not know is rejected before the container starts, rather than after the ones it does know have been compiled. Symlinks in the function directory are followed, which is how functions can share source; target is the one name that must not be a symlink, since only what is under it is left out. The build container is stopped with a context that cannot be cancelled. A build usually ends early because its context expired, as crossplane render's does after a minute, and the container would otherwise be left compiling.

A walkthrough for reviewers: build the CLI, create a project that composes an S3 bucket with a Rust function, generate its models, render it, and deploy it. It covers what is specific to Rust, such as the layout of the crossplane-models crate, the namespaced and cluster-scoped model groups, rendering against a function running locally to avoid rebuilding, and the render timeout. The troubleshooting section records the limits of the schema manager on main that a Rust project runs into, with the workaround. Signed-off-by: Jonasz Łasut-Balcerzak <jonasz@upbound.io>

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds Rust support across schema language declarations, model generation, function scaffolding, project building, and schema module merging. It also adds tests, command help, and a Rust testing guide.

Changes

Rust support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Language contract and function scaffolding `apis/dev/v1alpha1/project_types.go`, `cmd/crossplane/function/...`, `cmd/crossplane/function/help/generate.md`, `docs/rust-testing-guide.md`	Rust is added to the supported schema languages and function generation options. The command renders Rust templates with optional generated schemas. The help text includes a Rust example, and the guide covers Rust function workflows.
Rust schema generation `internal/schemas/generator/interface.go`, `internal/schemas/generator/rust.go`, `internal/schemas/generator/rust_features.go`, `internal/schemas/generator/rust_naming.go`, `internal/schemas/generator/rust_*_test.go`	The generator emits Rust model crates from CRD and OpenAPI schemas. It maps schema types, groups models, handles references and cycles, builds module trees and Cargo features, and sanitizes identifiers. Tests cover generated output, naming, features, and module declarations.
Merged module-tree integration `internal/schemas/manager/manager.go`, `internal/schemas/manager/manager_rust_test.go`	The schema manager rebuilds Rust module declarations after project and dependency models are combined.
Rust function building `internal/project/functions/build.go`, `internal/project/functions/build_test.go`, `internal/project/functions/rust.go`	Project identification recognizes Cargo projects. The Rust builder stages sources and optional schema models, builds binaries for `amd64` and `arm64`, and configures runtime images.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a1fb1

Existing projects that do not list schema languages may start generating Rust models after upgrading. A malformed OpenAPI schema with a null value could also crash the CLI during Rust generation. Both are bounded, so the change is mergeable once the maintainers confirm the default-language behavior and the nil handling is checked.

Full details: Feature Gate Requirement

Explanation

Rust support is a new, significant behavior change and is not behind a Rust-specific feature flag. The PR adds SchemaLanguageRust to SupportedSchemaLanguages in apis/dev/v1alpha1/project_types.go, so project API validation accepts rust. It also unconditionally adds rustGenerator to AllLanguages, and an unspecified ProjectSchemas.Languages selects all generators. The PR adds the Rust function option and dispatch in cmd/crossplane/function/generate.go and adds newRustBuilder to the default builder list in internal/project/functions/build.go. The feature configuration surface remains unchanged: internal/config/config.go has only alpha/beta visibility and Go-generation flags, and cmd/crossplane/config/set.go has no Rust flag. Existing generic beta tags on parent commands do not provide a Rust-specific gate, and the hidden GA render path also constructs AllLanguages directly.

Resolution

Add and document a dedicated Rust feature flag, or classify Rust as an alpha feature and apply the existing alpha gate consistently. Thread the gate through API language validation, default and filtered schema-generator construction, Rust function generation, and Rust builder identification. Keep Rust unavailable by default, add tests for enabled and disabled configurations, and update command help and documentation to state how to enable it.

Gate Rust schema generation for existing projects.

When spec.schemas.languages is omitted, GetLanguages() returns nil, and generator.Filter treats an empty list as all generators. Since AllLanguages() now includes Rust, existing projects can generate Rust schemas on their next build or schema-generation run after upgrade. This changes generated artifacts and build behavior.

Could you add a feature gate that defaults off, or require an explicit rust entry until Rust generation is stable? Document the upgrade path for existing projects.

Fix only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes minimal, and validate. In `@apis/dev/v1alpha1/project_types.go` at line 67, Gate Rust schema generation behind an opt-in feature flag, defaulting to disabled for existing projects whose spec.schemas.languages is omitted; only allow SchemaLanguageRust when explicitly enabled or listed. Preserve existing language behavior and document the upgrade path for enabling Rust generation. After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local review.

I'd like to get a maintainer opinion on this, Rust models are generated natively, which makes the process quick and does not introduce any external dependencies.

@jonasz-lasut, thank you for the context. Native generation is a strong reason to avoid a feature gate for performance or dependency reasons.

The concern is compatibility, not generation cost. Existing projects with omitted spec.schemas.languages currently select all supported languages. Adding Rust changes their generated output after a CLI upgrade, including a new schemas/rust crate.

A maintainer decision is needed on the default-language contract:

If omitted languages intentionally means “all languages available in this CLI version”, this change is valid. The documentation should state that upgrades can add generated language directories.

If omitted languages is expected to preserve existing generated artifacts, Rust should require an explicit "rust" entry until a future compatibility boundary.

Could a maintainer confirm which contract Crossplane wants for spec.schemas.languages? I will keep this thread open pending that decision.

Resolved all coderabbit comments except for #374 (review) where I'd like to get a maintainer decision. I'm not against introducing a feature flag for Rust but I'm not convinced that it's necessary if crossplane cli supports explicit schema language choice in the project.yaml

Build Rust functions with cargo auditable build, which embeds the function's dependency tree in the binary as a .dep-v0 section. Image scanners such as syft, grype and Trivy read it, so scanning a function image reports the crates the function was built from, not only the runtime image's Debian packages. The section survives strip = true. cargo-auditable wraps rustc, so it runs on the build container's architecture whatever the target, and cross-compilation is unchanged: the object it adds is linked by the same cross gcc. The container downloads the static (musl) build of a pinned release for its own architecture and checks it against a digest pinned in the CLI. Releases carry builds for x86_64 and aarch64; on any other host the script compiles it with cargo install --locked instead. The download adds about half a second to a build, and the section about 5 KiB to each binary, more when it pushes a segment onto the next 64 KiB boundary on arm64.

Move the Rust builder from rust:1-bookworm and distroless cc-debian12:nonroot to rust:1-trixie and cc-debian13:nonroot, the Debian release the Python builder already runs on. The two images move together: the binary links the build image's glibc dynamically and runs only on that version or a newer one. grype matches 48 vulnerabilities in cc-debian12:nonroot, 2 of them Critical and 15 High, and 31 in cc-debian13:nonroot, none Critical.
