Best Practices for a Clean Web App Repository
Throughout this book, we have been building out our application piece by piece and adding automation scripts and tools to help us with testing and deploying our application. However, although this path is useful for learning tools and concepts, the structure of our projects in previous chapters has not been optimal for running a project for production.
In this chapter, we will create a new repository, lift our Rust code into that repository, and then structure the code for clean database migrations, tests, and optimized Docker builds for our application so that it can be deployed smoothly.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- The general layout of a clean repository
