Overview of this book

Are safety and high performance a big concern for you while developing web applications? While most programming languages have a safety or speed trade-off, Rust provides memory safety without using a garbage collector. This means that with its low memory footprint, you can build high-performance and secure web apps with relative ease. This book will take you through each stage of the web development process, showing you how to combine Rust and modern web development principles to build supercharged web apps. You'll start with an introduction to Rust and understand how to avoid common pitfalls when migrating from traditional dynamic programming languages. The book will show you how to structure Rust code for a project that spans multiple pages and modules. Next, you'll explore the Actix Web framework and get a basic web server up and running. As you advance, you'll learn how to process JSON requests and display data from the web app via HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You'll also be able to persist data and create RESTful services in Rust. Later, you'll build an automated deployment process for the app on an AWS EC2 instance and Docker Hub. Finally, you'll play around with some popular web frameworks in Rust and compare them. By the end of this Rust book, you'll be able to confidently create scalable and fast web applications with Rust.

Section 4:Testing and Deployment

Building our application is one thing. However, it is not very useful if we do not deploy it. Going through the necessary steps to protect the application and deploy it onto a server using Docker so that others can use it. In order to achieve this, we need to build scripts that automate the packaging and deployment of our application, which can be put into pipelines if needed. We also need to run unit and functional tests to ensure that we are deploying an application which works exactly how we want it to.

In this section, we'll build functional and unit tests for our web app. With this, we will be able to see how our components work with a basic Cargo test command, and we'll run our app and run a range of API tests to test the full infrastructure. We then build automated scripts that will package our application into a Docker image, and deploy it onto a server with a database and NGINX in order to protect our application. We then apply...
