Overview of this book

Are safety and high performance a big concern for you while developing web applications? With this practical Rust book, you’ll discover how you can implement Rust on the web to achieve the desired performance and security as you learn techniques and tooling to build fully operational web apps. In this second edition, you’ll get hands-on with implementing emerging Rust web frameworks, including Actix, Rocket, and Hyper. It also features HTTPS configuration on AWS when deploying a web application and introduces you to Terraform for automating the building of web infrastructure on AWS. What’s more, this edition also covers advanced async topics. Built on the Tokio async runtime, this explores TCP and framing, implementing async systems with the actor framework, and queuing tasks on Redis to be consumed by a number of worker nodes. Finally, you’ll go over best practices for packaging Rust servers in distroless Rust Docker images with database drivers, so your servers are a total size of 50Mb each. By the end of this book, you’ll have confidence in your skills to build robust, functional, and scalable web applications from scratch.

What is Rocket?

Rocket is a Rust web framework, like Actix Web. It’s newer than Actix Web and has a lower user base at the time of writing. In the previous edition of this book, Rocket was running on nightly Rust, meaning that the releases were not stable. However, now, Rocket is running on stable Rust.

The framework does have some advantages, depending on your style of coding. Rocket is simpler to write, since it implements boilerplate code itself, so the developer does not have to write boilerplate themselves. Rocket also supports JSON parsing, forms, and type checking out of the box, which can all be implemented with just a few lines of code. Features such as logging are already implemented as soon as you start a Rocket server. If you want to just get an application off the ground with little effort, then Rocket is a good framework. However, it is not as established as Actix Web, meaning that as you get more advanced, you might find yourself envying some of the features...
