+# Simple
+
+A *Simple* base for building elegant and performing web services in Rust.
+
+It aims to be an intermediate layer between the various components that are
+currently provided by the Rust community for building web services.
+
+Every functionality provided by Simple is built on top of one or more well-known
+libraries. From there Simple provide utilities, abstractions and even examples
+to help integrate these components and achieve concrete high level features.
+
+* The following features are part of the development road map:
+
+- [x] Basic routing (_warp_) and database access (_sqlx_)
+- [ ] Resource sharing and dependency injection mechanisms
+- [ ] Database access abstractions for _sqlx_
+- [ ] Support for _redis_, _memcache_ and _kafka_
+- [ ] Middleware and authentication providers
+- [ ] Input deserialization and validation utilities
+- [ ] Improved logging and error reporting
+- [ ] HTTP/2.0, Websockets and GRPC 
+- [ ] Unit testing
