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



[![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/embex?color=blue)](https://pypi.org/project/embex/)

[![NPM](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@bridgerust/embex?color=red)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@bridgerust/embex)



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.



```bash

pip install embex              # Python

npm install @bridgerust/embex  # Node.js

```



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

### BridgeTime — Datetime Toolkit



[![PyPI Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/bridgetime?label=bridgetime%20(PyPI))](https://pypi.org/project/bridgetime)

[![npm Version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@bridgerust/bridgetime?label=%40bridgerust%2Fbridgetime)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@bridgerust/bridgetime)



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



```bash

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.
