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: gist, an S3 bucket walkthrough from project init to a running function. It lives outside the tree because it tests this PR; user docs are in the docs PR
• 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 component schema, named after its type, as the Go generator does, and the module re-exports them, so file layout is invisible to users. The schema manager copies one source's output over another without deleting, so a type has to land in the same file whichever source emits it and whatever else that source knows about. The shared Kubernetes types (ObjectMeta, Status, ...) are written by every source, from either flow, so both flows emit them identically: never as a resource
• A property that is an integer or a string (x-kubernetes-int-or-string) is an untagged enum of both, named after its path, as the named IntOrString and Quantity are
• 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. This is a deliberate difference from the Go and Python models, which generate typed enums: Kubernetes and providers add enum values in minor releases, and a closed enum would fail to deserialize an observed resource the day the server starts using a new one
  • 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:

• Read and followed Crossplane's contribution process.
• Run ./nix.sh flake check to ensure this PR is ready for review.
• Added or updated unit tests.
• Linked a PR or a docs tracking issue to document this change.
• Added backport release-x.y labels to auto-backport this PR.

📝 Walkthrough

This pull request adds Rust as a schema language and supports Rust model generation, function scaffolding, and function builds. It also adds shared OpenAPI processing and Rust module-tree processing when schemas are combined.

Changes: Rust support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Language contract and scaffolding apis/dev/v1alpha1/project_types.go, cmd/crossplane/function/generate.go, cmd/crossplane/function/generate_test.go, cmd/crossplane/function/help/generate.md	Rust is listed as a supported schema language and function generation option. The command renders Rust templates with optional generated schemas. Tests cover schema discovery and generated files. The help text includes Rust and a generation example.
Shared OpenAPI collection and normalization internal/schemas/generator/openapi.go, internal/schemas/generator/go.go, internal/schemas/generator/json.go, internal/xpkg/metadata_test.go	OpenAPI collection, GVK defaults, and validation-only combinator removal move into shared helpers. The Go and JSON generators use the shared collection and normalization helpers. A test comment uses the shared collector name.
Rust schema generation internal/schemas/generator/interface.go, internal/schemas/generator/rust.go, internal/schemas/generator/rust_naming.go, internal/schemas/generator/rust_naming_test.go, internal/schemas/generator/rust_test.go, internal/schemas/generator/rust_compilegate_test.go	The Rust generator converts CRD and OpenAPI schemas into Rust types and files. It handles naming, type mappings, references, resource defaults, documentation, and compilation of generated crates. Tests cover output, naming, schema shapes, and compile-time behavior.
Cargo features and module-tree assembly internal/schemas/generator/rust_features.go, internal/schemas/generator/rust.go, internal/schemas/generator/rust_test.go, internal/schemas/manager/manager.go, internal/schemas/manager/manager_rust_test.go	The generator builds Cargo feature entries and Rust module declarations from generated files. The schema manager rebuilds module declarations after project and dependency schemas are combined. Tests cover feature dependencies and sequential module-tree updates.
Rust function build pipeline internal/project/functions/build.go, internal/project/functions/build_test.go, internal/project/functions/rust.go	Project identification recognizes Rust manifests, with tests checking Rust selection and Python precedence. The Rust builder stages sources and optional schema models, builds binaries for supported architectures, and configures runtime images.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5d725

Rust support works as described. However, projects that do not list schema languages will start generating Rust models on their next build after upgrade, which changes their generated files and build time. Maintainers should decide whether to accept this default or require projects to opt in. A malformed OpenAPI document containing a null schema can still crash generation, as it already does for other languages.

Full details: Breaking Changes

Explanation

The pull request does not introduce a breaking change under the stated scope. In apis/**, it only adds the rust schema language and updates documentation. In cmd/**, it adds the rust language flag value, templates, tests, and generation behavior; existing flags and public fields remain present. The Python scaffold flow is refactored without removing its documented behavior. No removal, rename, or new required public field or flag is shown.

Full details: Feature Gate Requirement

Explanation

The standing failure remains unresolved. This PR adds Rust as an accepted API schema language in apis/dev/v1alpha1/project_types.go, includes it in generator.AllLanguages(), exposes --language rust, and registers newRustBuilder unconditionally. With no spec.schemas.languages, GetLanguages() returns nil and Filter keeps all generators, so Rust is enabled by default. internal/config/config.go and cmd/crossplane/config/set.go still define and expose only the existing alpha, beta, and Go-generation flags. The parent function and project commands use the default-enabled beta gate, which does not selectively gate Rust.

Resolution

Add a dedicated Rust feature flag, or classify Rust as alpha and apply the existing alpha gate consistently. Gate API language validation, default and filtered schema-generator construction, Rust function generation, and Rust builder identification. Keep Rust unavailable by default. Add enabled and disabled configuration tests and command help that documents how to enable Rust.

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

[haarchri]

The file a type goes into depends on which kinds the current source knows about. Different sources know about different kinds, so the same type can end up in two different files.

A real example from our own testdata: apis__resource.k8s.io__v1_openapi.json contains io.k8s.api.core.v1.NodeSelector, but not the Node kind. From that source, NodeSelector gets its own file, nodeselector.rs. From the core/v1 source, Node is a kind, so the prefix rule puts NodeSelector into node.rs. The manager never deletes old files, so after both sources run, the core/v1 folder has NodeSelector twice. mod.rs has pub use node::*; and pub use nodeselector::*;, so every reference to NodeSelector fails with E0659 (ambiguous name).

The same can happen after a Kubernetes upgrade adds a new kind: old files stay and new files are added next to them.

The special case for io.k8s.apimachinery. only covers the meta types, not other shared packages like core/v1. The Go generator avoids the problem because the file path comes only from the schema name (goSchemaPath). Could we do the same here? If we keep the grouping, BuildRustModuleTree should at least check for duplicate type names in a module and fail with a clear error.

[jonasz-lasut]

Good catch, thanks. Fixed in 107be29: the generator now writes one file per component schema, named after its type, as the Go generator does, so a type's file no longer depends on which kinds a source knows about. The grouping code is gone.

For the record, the two testdata documents are one source here and get merged into one generator call, so that exact pair did not reproduce in a single run. The upgrade case you describe did, and with the manager copying without deleting, any layout that depends on context is unsafe. TestRustFileDependsOnNameAlone generates PodSpec with and without its kind and asserts the same file both times. I also regenerated a project with the Kubernetes v1.37 models: 400 files, no type declared twice, and the crate compiles with all features.

[haarchri]

Properties with x-kubernetes-int-or-string: true become serde_json::Value here. crd.ToOpenAPI turns them into an inline anyOf: [{type: integer}, {type: string}], but rustScalarVariants is only called for named component schemas (in addNamedType), not for inline properties.

Go keeps these as a typed union (see the comment at go.go:891), and KCL has special handling for IntOrString. In CRDs this is common for fields like port, targetPort and maxUnavailable, so users lose type safety exactly where they need it. Could we create an untagged enum here as well, or point to the shared intstr::IntOrString type?

[jonasz-lasut]

Fixed in 107be29. An inline choice of scalars now becomes an untagged enum named after its path, the same way the named IntOrString and Quantity do, so a CRD's port with x-kubernetes-int-or-string becomes <Owner>SpecPort { Int(i64), String(String) } instead of serde_json::Value.

I went with an enum per field rather than pointing at a shared intstr::IntOrString: a CRD-only project has no apimachinery module to point at, and a crate-root type would sit outside the per-module features. TestGenerateFromCRDRustShapes runs a CRD with the extension through the real CRD to OpenAPI conversion and asserts the enum.

[haarchri]

Every build compiles from zero. Nothing is cached between builds: not the cargo registry and not target/. So every project build downloads all crates again and recompiles tonic, aws-lc-sys and the models, once per architecture. This will take several minutes each time.

We already have docker.StartWithBindMount, and BaseImageCacheDir is an example of a per-user cache. Mounting a cache folder at $CARGO_HOME/registry (and maybe a per-function target folder) would make rebuilds much faster. This can be a follow-up PR, but I think we should track it.

[jonasz-lasut]

Agreed, and worth designing with care, because a mount alone does not help.
I measured it while writing the PR (the "No build cache" section of the
description): a named Docker volume for CARGO_HOME plus a per-function
target directory gives 109 s cold and 9 s warm, but 75 s on every build
where the models were rewritten, changed or not. cargo fingerprints path
dependencies by mtime, and today three things touch the models crate on
every project build: the project's own XRD models are regenerated
unconditionally (dependencies go through the lock and are skipped),
CopyFilesBetweenFs rewrites every file, and BuildRustModuleTree
rewrites every mod.rs, lib.rs and the manifest. Staging keeps host
mtimes, so once the host files stop changing, the cache works.

So the plan I would put in a follow-up issue:

1. Write-if-changed in the schema manager and the module tree builder:
   compare bytes and skip the write when equal. That is a prerequisite for
   any cache
2. A per-user named volume for CARGO_HOME, shareable across functions and
   projects, holding the registry index, crate sources and the
   cargo-auditable binary we fetch today on every build.
3. A per-function target volume, keyed by project path and function name,
   since cargo fingerprints by absolute path and two functions sharing a
   target would evict each other. Both architectures live under it as
   separate target triples. Image bumps invalidate it on their own, since
   the rustc version is part of the fingerprint.
4. Named volumes rather than bind mounts: target/ is many small files,
   which is slow across the Docker Desktop file sharing on macOS, and a
   volume leaves no root-owned files on the host. A --no-cache flag on
   project build and a way to drop the volumes, in the spirit of
   dependency clean-cache.

composition render in a project rebuilds embedded functions on every run,
so that is where it pays off most. I will open the issue with this once
the PR lands and keep this PR without the cache.

flect.Singularize turns data into Datum and criteria into Criterion, so a field spec.data[] becomes ...SpecDatum. That is correct English but surprising in generated code. Go and Python use Item-style names here. Could we add a test for data and decide which result we want?

[jonasz-lasut]

Agreed, done in 3e434bc: items are <Field>Item, as in the Go and Python models, so spec.data[] gives SpecDataItem. flect is out of the Rust naming code. The test covers a plural, a Latin plural and an already singular name.

[haarchri]

The tests check the generated text, but nothing compiles the crate.

For Go we have runtimeobject_compilegate_test.go behind the compilegate build tag, which really builds the generated module. Could we add the same for Rust with cargo check? It would have caught the Default problem and the duplicate type problem from the comments above.

[jonasz-lasut]

Added in 3e434bc: rust_compilegate_test.go, behind the same compilegate tag as the Go gate. It materializes the crate and runs cargo check --all-features with warnings denied for the CRD flow, the OpenAPI flow and both flows merged in either order, then compiles consumer crates that depend on the models by path, one of them with default-features = false and two features, and round-trips resources through serde. It covers the Default kind and the int-or-string enum from the other threads too.

Like the Go gate it needs cargo and crates.io, so CI only type-checks it through lint; go test -tags compilegate -run Rust ./internal/schemas/generator/... runs it, about 45 s here.

[haarchri]

By default, the new function depends on all models. With large providers that means compiling thousands of types even if the function uses one or two. The comment explains how to turn on only some features, which is good, but most people will keep the default and wonder why the build is slow. Could the template turn on only the project’s own XRD features by default? Or could the README say clearly what this costs?

[jonasz-lasut]

Done in 3e434bc: the scaffold README has a "Compile time" section that says the default compiles every model, shows the default-features = false form with two features, says where the feature names come from, and what an import from a module whose feature is off fails with.

I kept the all-models default: a narrowed one would make the first use of a provider type fail with an unresolved import and no hint that a feature is missing.

[haarchri]

generateRustFiles is almost a copy of generatePythonFiles: the same schema check, the same relative path logic and the same two-step rendering. Could we move the shared part into a small helper, like schemasInfo(lang), that both use? Then a fix in one place fixes both.

[jonasz-lasut]

Done in 5d72588. schemasInfo(lang) now does the schemas-directory check and the relative path for both scaffolds, and renderTemplateTree the two-pass rendering, so the Python and Rust ones are each a data struct and two calls. I left the Go scaffold on its own check: it treats an existing but empty schemas/go as models present, and changing that is a separate decision from this PR. Covered by a test for the helper plus the existing scaffold tests, and checked on a project by generating a Rust and a Python function and compiling the Rust one against the models.

Return openAPIs after afero.Walk finishes.

Thank you for moving these helpers into a shared file. The rename makes it clearer that Go, JSON and Rust all depend on them.

collectCRDOpenAPIs returns openAPIs, afero.Walk(...). The afero.Walk callback appends to openAPIs. The Go specification does not define whether a plain variable operand is evaluated before or after a function call in the same expression list. The specification gives this case as an example: []int{a, f()} can produce [1, 2] or [2, 2].

Today, gc evaluates the call first, so the code works and the tests pass. If the compiler evaluates openAPIs first, the function returns a nil slice. Go, JSON and Rust then generate no models, and no error is reported. This helper is now shared by three generators, so a direct sequence is safer. Was there a reason to keep the one-line form from the old goCollectOpenAPIs?

♻️ Proposed change

 	var openAPIs []crdOpenAPI
-	return openAPIs, afero.Walk(fromFS, "", func(path string, info fs.FileInfo, err error) error {
+	err := afero.Walk(fromFS, "", func(path string, info fs.FileInfo, err error) error {
 		...
 		return nil
 	})
+	return openAPIs, err
 }

This matches the pattern that collectOpenAPISpecs uses at lines 153-189.

LGTM

[adamwg]

I don't know Rust, so I've just skimmed the actual generation part, but LGTM as well. Building/maintaining our own rust generator worries me a bit, but the code is simple enough so not too concerned.

[adamwg]

Purely for my understanding: why can't we build for other architectures? (Also, not sure any of our existing builders support anything other than amd64 and arm64 either :-).)

[jonasz-lasut]

the decision was based on three things:

• I've wanted to make the image as lean as possible while we build tools inside the image - so not adding cross-compilation targets/tools etc makes that simpler
• It was the only two targets that I'm reliably able to test without setting up additional virtualization setup on my macbook
• the Python builder has the same allowlist (python-build-standalone only ships x86_64 and aarch64), KCL fails on a missing base image for anything other than amd64/arm64, currently only Go builds for different arch via Ko and GOARCH

[adamwg]

We should build a build image that includes everything we need, so that we don't have to download it on every build (and it will work for folks using ImageConfigs because they're behind firewalls etc.). We haven't done this yet for other languages (e.g., Python) so totally fine to leave it as a follow-up. I'll create an issue so we don't forget.
