Rust is gaining popularity in web development due to its memory safety, performance, and growing ecosystem. Let's explore why Rust is becoming a compelling choice for backend development and how to build your first web service.
Rust offers several advantages for web development: memory safety without garbage collection, excellent performance, and a growing ecosystem of web frameworks like Actix Web, Rocket, and Warp.
We'll walk through setting up a basic web server using Actix Web, handling HTTP requests, and building REST APIs. You'll learn about Rust's ownership system and how it applies to web development.
Many companies are already using Rust in production for web services. We'll look at some case studies and performance benchmarks that demonstrate Rust's capabilities in web development.
