Summary

In this chapter, we have put all our Rust fusing skills to work to build packages that are baked into Docker images for a Python web application. We attached Rust packages directly to the web application, and then to the Celery worker, resulting in a significant speedup when we asked our web application to calculate the Fibonacci number.

Then, we altered our build process to take Rust packages from private GitHub repositories when building our Python web application image. Finally, we connected directly to the database with Rust and used Rust nightly to compile it. We managed to include this in our Python web application Docker build. This resulted in us not only being able to fuse Rust into a deployable web application but also use Rust nightly and databases to solve our problems

With this in mind, we can now use what we have learned in this book for production web applications. You can now start coding in Rust and plug your Rust packages into existing Python web applications...
