Rust Web Programming

Part 1:Getting Started with Rust Web Development

Coding in Rust can be challenging. In this part, we cover the basics of Rust programming and how to build applications spanning multiple files in a project with dependencies. By the end of this part, you will be able to build applications in Rust, manage dependencies, navigate the Rust borrow checker, and manage data collections, structs, the basic design structure, and referencing structs.

This part includes the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, A Quick Introduction to Rust
  • Chapter 2, Designing Your Web Application in Rust

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

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)

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!

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.

This book seems to have a good coverage of various tools and libs needed for web development in Rust. This is the second edition of the book and it seems like author followed up on the feedback of certain libraries being versions behind (e.g. Actix Web). This 2nd edition added Rocket now.Glancing at few chapters it seems like the author provides a nice hands on approach to every piece of the web stack and presents it detailed step by step approach. On one had this consumes pages of the book but on another leave less room for confusion.Still reading but so far things are looking good.

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

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.
