Are you confusing `docs.rs` with `cargo doc`?

It is indeed many packages, but if you look into the dependencies and code, docs is full blown standalone HTTP async server which uses tokio, AWS S3 and Postgresql. It is used to host the docs.rs where is the documentation of every cargo project.

Maybe they should feature-gate some functionality and also split the dependencies
