Rust Web Programming: A hands-on guide to developing packaging and deploying fully functional Rust web applications

Use the Rust programming language to build fully functional web applications with async Rust to amplify security and boost the performance of your programsKey FeaturesWork with cutting-edge web techniques such as distroless Rust servers Terraform and AWS deploymentGet acquainted with async concepts such as actors and queuing tasks using lower-level frameworks like TokioBuild a full web application in Rust with a database authentication and frontendBook DescriptionAre safety and high performance a big concern for you while developing web applications?With this practical Rust book youll discover how you can implement Rust on the web to achieve the desired performance and security as you learn techniques and tooling to build fully operational web apps.In this second edition youll get hands-on with implementing emerging Rust web frameworks including Actix Rocket and Hyper. It also features HTTPS configuration on AWS when deploying a web application and introduces you to Terraform for automating the building of web infrastructure on AWS. Whats more this edition also covers advanced async topics. Built on the Tokio async runtime this explores TCP and framing implementing async systems with the actor framework and queuing tasks on Redis to be consumed by a number of worker nodes. Finally youll go over best practices for packaging Rust servers in distroless Rust Docker images with database drivers so your servers are a total size of 50Mb each.By the end of this book youll have confidence in your skills to build robust functional and scalable web applications from scratch.What you will learnStructure and build scalable Rust web apps by creating a basic to-do list web appManage authentication and databases in Rust web applicationsGet to grips with wrapping web applications in distrolessUnderstand the building blocks of web development such as HTTPS TCP and middlewareBuild app infrastructure on AWS using Terraform with databases servers load balancers HTTPS and URL routingBuild end-to-end tests using PostmanBuild async systems implementing the actor model using TokioWho this book is forThis Rust programming book is for web developers who want to learn and implement Rust to build web applications. Developers familiar with languages such as Python Ruby and JS will be able to use this book to build high performant web apps with Rust.Although no prior experience in Rust is necessary a solid understanding of web development principles along with basic knowledge of HTML CSS and JavaScript is necessary to get the most out of this book.
