Microservice architecture is sweeping the world as the de facto pattern for building web-based applications. Rust is a language particularly well-suited for building microservices. It is a new system programming language that offers a practical and safe alternative to C.
This book describes web development using the Rust programming language and will get you up and running with modern web frameworks and crates with examples of RESTful microservices creation. You will deep dive into Reactive programming, and asynchronous programming, and split your web application into a set of concurrent actors. The book provides several HTTP-handling examples with manageable memory allocations. You will walk through stateless high-performance microservices, which are ideally suitable for computation or caching tasks, and look at stateful microservices, which are filled with persistent data and database interactions. As we move along, you will learn how to use Rust macros to describe business or protocol entities of our application and compile them into native structs, which will be performed at full speed with the help of the server's CPU.
Finally, you will be taken through examples of how to test and debug microservices and pack them into a tiny monolithic binary or put them into a container and deploy them to modern cloud platforms such as AWS.
About the Author
Denis Kolodin has been developing high-loaded network applications for more than 12 years. He has mastered and used different kind of programming languages like C, Java, Python and even Go for developing various applications from high-frequency trading robots to IPTV broadcasting servers. Now he enjoys creating peer-to-peer networking applications inspired by distributed systems based on a blockchain.
He started using Rust way back when version 1.0 was released and was delighted with features the programming language provided: zero-cost abstractions, safe multithreading, high-precision async programming and WebAssembly support. He is the core developer of Yew, a modern Rust framework inspired by Elm and React JS for creating multithreaded frontend apps with WebAssembly
He writes full-stack apps in Rust at his job and is known for his unique problem-solving capabilities when it comes to Rust.
