Chapter 15: Improving the Rocket Application

Now that we have finished the simple application, in this final chapter, we will explore the improvements we can make to the Rocket application.

In this chapter, we will learn about adding various technologies such as logging, tracing, and monitoring to bring the Rocket application up to the standard of modern web development. We will explore techniques to scale the Rocket application.

We will also explore other web frameworks for the Rust language. One web framework might not be the best tool for everything, so by knowing about other web frameworks, we can broaden our knowledge of the Rust web ecosystem.

In this chapter, we are going to cover these main topics:

  • Extending the Rocket application
  • Scaling the Rocket application
  • Exploring alternative Rust web frameworks
