Rust Web Programming by Maxwell Flitton Book Summary

Use the Rust programming language to build fully functional web applications with async Rust to amplify security and boost the performance of your programs

Key Features

Work 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 frontend
Book Description

Are safety and high performance a big concern for you while developing web applications?

With this practical Rust book, you'll 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, you'll 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. What's 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, you'll 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, you'll have confidence in your skills to build robust, functional, and scalable web applications from scratch.
