These perhaps?:

https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket

https://github.com/actix/actix-web

https://github.com/carllerche/tower-web

Not saying that is the primary use, but still a valid question as long as these libraries are being built/pushed.

Additionally, npm is a production user that runs at least one web service that we know of, for example.

A web service is not web development though. At least I didn't consider "web development" in the parent's sense with "running a backend REST service", but more like "running websites".

That might be fair, yeah. I've seen some sharply make this distinction, and others not care.

I think things are much more viable for "services" rather than "sites" right now. And the npm thing is a service.
