Overview of this book

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.

Reading environment variables

In the previous example, we used a value of the RUST_LOG environment variable to set filtering parameters for logging. We can use other environment variables to set parameters for our server as well. In the following example, we will use the ADDRESS environment variable to set the address of the socket we want to bind.

Standard library

There are enough functions in the std::env standard module to work with environment variables. It contains the var function to read external values. This function returns a Result with a String value of the variable if it exists, or a VarError error if it doesn't exist. Add the import of the env module to your main...
