Summary
We have finally come to the end of our journey. We have created our own docker image packaging our Rust application. We then ran this on our local computer with the protection of a NGINX container. We then deployed it onto a docker hub account enabling us to use it to deploy onto an AWS server that we set up.
It has to be noted that we have gone through the lengthy steps of configuring containers and accessing our server via SSH. This has enabled us to apply this process to other platforms as our general approach was not AWS centric. We merely used AWS to set up the server. However, if we set up a server on another provider, we will still be able to install docker on the server, deploy our image onto it, and run it with NGINX and a connection to a database.
There are few more things we can do as a developer's work is never done. However, we have covered and achieved the core basics of building a Rust web application from scratch and deploying it in an automated fashion...
