Key benefits

Work with cutting-edge web techniques such as distroless Rust servers, Terraform, and AWS deployment

Get acquainted with async concepts such as actors and queuing tasks using lower-level frameworks like Tokio

Build a full web application in Rust with a database, authentication, and frontend

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.

Who is this book for?

This 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.

What you will learn

Structure and build scalable Rust web apps by creating a basic to-do list web app

Manage authentication and databases in Rust web applications

Get to grips with wrapping web applications in distroless

Understand the building blocks of web development such as HTTPS, TCP, and middleware

Build app infrastructure on AWS using Terraform with databases, servers, load balancers, HTTPS, and URL routing

Build end-to-end tests using Postman

Build async systems implementing the actor model using Tokio

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled?

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered?

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content?

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.

The book is focused on what it promises and delivers.Despite I think this book is opinionated (the author chose the appropriate ways and platform to create the Web apps) it will take you the right alley to building a working Web App in Rust.Speaking of Rust and one of the several points to improve, the Rust programming language is not covered deep enough. So prepare to obtain supplementary material on Rust to cover its many topics more in-depth. Another weak topic is that the book concentrated on AWS as the Cloud provider. Why the other operators are important is because of the popularity of the multi-cloud deployments. Lastly, I wished the book had dedicated time to efficient debugging/TDE.Now when I covered the negatives or rather the critical aspects of what to expect I would like to give some praises:The breadth of the book is sheer, what I mean is it covers so many Rust frameworks and crates that a developer will find it useful to apply them in one case or another.The book is not limited to building a Web app in a single given way (multiple applications types are covered). The books goes beyond the regular Web development attributes into middleware (Redis, data persistence. etc.).Enjoy!

Everything is as expected. The only thing is that the right bottom corner of the book is very dirty although the book is new

Pankaj Singh Rathore May 14, 2023

I have thoroughly reviewed this book, and it proves to be an invaluable resource for learning Rust or solidifying your understanding of its fundamental concepts. I highly recommend purchasing this book if you are eager to learn Rust or become a proficient Rust programmer. It offers comprehensive insights and guidance that will greatly contribute to your mastery of Rust.

Amazon Customer Mar 13, 2023

Overall I'd say the book is well structured, and fulfilled with the latest Web frameworks: Actix, Hyper, Rocket. I like the idea of using a concrete example to introduce these frameworks and I believe it's the most effective way to introduce new tools.Something I expected but now shown in this book: native HTTPS or TLS/SSL (introducing Rustls), detailed performance tweaking/analysis (since readers probably want to try Rust because of performance), MySQL or SQLite (more popular dbs for small business), advanced logging (like integration with sentry, etc)
