Building Web Services in Rust

Building Web Services in Rust is your ultimate guide to crafting modern, high-performance APIs using one of the most powerful and memory-safe languages in the industry. Whether you're a Rustacean aiming to take your skills to the web or a backend developer seeking a safer alternative to C++ or Node.js, this book equips you with practical, real-world solutions for service development.Inside, you'll master the essentials of web programming in Rust, from routing, middleware, and state management to asynchronous programming and database integration. With hands-on examples built using both Actix Web-the fastest Rust web framework-and Rocket-the most ergonomic and developer-friendly option-you'll learn to build RESTful services, authentication systems, and full-stack-ready APIs.What you'll learn: - Build and deploy secure, scalable APIs using Actix and Rocket- Handle async programming, state, sessions, and routing with ease- Integrate with PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Redis- Implement JSON APIs, token-based auth, and middleware- Write tests and benchmarks for robust microservice architectures- Deploy Rust services to the cloud using Docker and CI/CD pipelinesWhether you're building microservices, internal tools, or full-fledged platforms, this book will give you the confidence and skills to build performant and reliable APIs in Rust-from prototype to production.
