Rust Web Development with Axum: A Practical, Project-Based Guide to Building Scalable APIs, Microservices, and Modern Backend Applications with Rust
Unlock the unparalleled power of Rust for backend development, specifically leveraging Axum, the ergonomic and high-performance web framework. Rust's compile-time safety, blazing-fast execution, and low memory footprint make it the ideal choice for mission-critical web services, APIs, and microservices. Axum, built atop Tokio and Hyper, offers an intuitive, type-safe, and asynchronous approach, ensuring your applications are not just fast but also robust and maintainable. This book empowers you to master async Rust, concurrent programming, and RESTful API design using cutting-edge tools.
Authored by a seasoned software engineer with years of practical experience building and deploying scalable systems, this guide cuts through the noise to deliver actionable insights. Every concept, from database schema design with PostgreSQL and SQLx to payment gateway integration and cloud deployment on platforms like AWS or Kubernetes, is rooted in real-world best practices. Learn from hands-on projects, directly applicable techniques, and battle-tested solutions, ensuring you gain not just theoretical knowledge but practical, deployable skills in Rust backend development.
"Rust Web Development with AXUM" is your comprehensive, project-driven roadmap to mastering modern backend architecture in Rust. This book meticulously guides you through building a scalable E-commerce API from the ground up, covering essential aspects like product management, order processing, and secure payment integration. Dive deep into Axum's powerful features, understand microservices design patterns, implement robust error handling, and gain expertise in testing, logging, monitoring, and containerization with Docker. You'll conclude with a deep understanding of deploying your Rust-based backend application reliably to the cloud, optimizing for performance, security, and scalability. This is the definitive guide for crafting high-performance, fault-tolerant web APIs with Rust.
Axum Master routing, extractors, middleware, and state management in Rust web applications.
Asynchronous Programming Deep dive into Tokio and async/await for highly concurrent I/O operations.
Database Learn practical PostgreSQL schema design and efficient data access using the SQLx ORM.
RESTful API Implement CRUD operations for complex business logic, including transactional integrity for critical processes like order creation.
Microservices Understand inter-service communication, gRPC, and distributed system challenges.
Observability & Implement structured logging (tracing), metrics, and custom error handling for production-grade applications.
Containerization & CI/ Package your Rust apps with Docker and learn to automate builds and deployments.
Cloud Deployment Practical guidance on deploying scalable Axum APIs to AWS ECS, Kubernetes, or VPS environments.
E-commerce A complete, hands-on project building a core E-commerce API with product and order management and payment processing integration.
This book is perfect for intermediate to advanced Rust developers looking to build enterprise-grade web applications and APIs. It's also ideal for experienced backend developers from other languages (like Python, Node.js, Go, Java) eager to transition to Rust for its unparalleled performance and safety benefits. If you're passionate about high-performance computing, reliable systems, and modern web architecture, and want to leverage Rust's unique advantages for backend services, this guide is for you. basic familiarity with Rust syntax.
Transform your backend development skills.
