Very practical tutorial. I'm reading through Zero2Prod in Rust right now, very happy about the state of using Rust to build web microservices. I would love to see a full Axum framework tutorial.

Thank you for the engaging content! I'd like to share my opinion regarding the axum tutorial. I find the topic of refactoring a project from the state shown in the video to a minimal production-ready state, including migrations, binding DTOs with models, error handling, etc., more intriguing. There are plenty of resources about building a pet-project-like API based on axum, but content covering the topic I described would be, in my opinion, significantly more valuable and rare.

Ah, it is mentioned at the end of the video that the topic of real-world applications will be covered within the bootcamp. Thank you!

Being able to use the scratch base image is really cool. Did a quick test. It took an 18.6 MB (6.7 MB compressed) alpine-based image down to 11.3 MB (3.4 MB compressed).

Thank you for your videos! They help a lot!

I was pulling my hair and spent a week to do what this video display for my microservice axum and tonic project last month. I haven't tried the caching yet, but since my server is an on prem machine, it is not a major issue. 😊

Great to see a video that provides the full picture of writing and deploying a rust web app! Maybe I missed something, but at 6:55 we define a volume for the database. Will this volume be a directory on the droplet? If that is the case, I guess in a production scenario, we would also like to have a mechanism to take backups of that directory in case it contains valuable user data.

Shuttle is another nice alternative. Exploring it right now.

Great video , super useful , in my personal project.

Your videos are very well done!

Thanks for the tutorial!

Please make a video series on the Axum framework. Awesoe video, btw!

What are your thoughts about deploying something stateful like Postgres in a container? Is it recommended? What are the pros and cons?

I'd love to see a comparison of frameworks, it would be interesting to see how easy (or hard...) it is to change to a different one.

thanks for this!

Would love to see an Axum tutorial!

Well done. Please create tutorial on Axum. Thanks

very nice tutorial!

This was great. Could you do something similar with kubernetes?

Yes please for an Axum tutorial.

excellent

Personally (not saying its good) its easier and faster (for me) to build rust under linux WSL and then in Docker file only copy build result. Docker container is then smaller, and build with deployment are faster.

I already replied to this earlier but seems KZread hid the comment. A better way to do this is a Multi-Stage Build. It's a native docker feature and it lets you build inside one image, then copy the binary to a new one, which will be the final product. This way the entire process is in docker, and you don't need to depend on WSL.

Hey dude, I have a thing for technical writing. Can I use this video to write a technical blog post that will basically trace this video? Asking for permission, will obviously credit appropriately.

One of the main killer features of rust for me is ability to avoid docker completely. So all I need to do is create .sevice file, and just scp my binary. Of course containers are great for scale, but I will use scp/ansistrano as long as possible. So, you can deploy rust in 5 minutes for the first time, and in 1 second all the others :)

Did anyone experience issue connecting to their droplet IP?...my droplet IP refused to connect and I don't really know why despite taking the same steps.

why axum instead of rocket? personal preference or is there a specific reason?

@தமிழோன்

Maybe because Axum is developed by the Tokio team. Rocket is mostly developed by a single developer. A lot could go wrong if he abandoned the project.

I'm kinda new to rust and i try to do what is described here (Had to change a few actions / versions) but in general: The github action is not able to compile my code, because sqlx needs a database running when using the query! macro and there is no database at compile time. Even if i provide a .env file with DATABASE_URL being set, i get compile time errors, that DATABSE_URL needs to be set. (I don't think this would change anything, as there... is no database on the action runner). Is there any special sqlx compile time magic i'm missing out? Second thing i notice: There is a github action secret being set for the DO API token. But it seems to never being used actually (Why should it be? You just ssh / scp into an existing droplet. No need for digital ocean API calls?!)

@badtrapify

Ok. I could answer the first question mysqlf by checking the sqlx docs. And if another newbie stubles accross, this one is for you: I had to set up an accessable db (or postgres container) and then: sqlx database create sqlx migrate run to apply the db-migrations in the migrations folder and then cargo sqlx prepare To prepare everything for SQLX Offline compilation mode.

Awesome but this needs to be more robust for real production services. You should only shutdown old containers after the new one is up and healthy which would need a proxy and the database container should be kept separately. You wouldn't want to restart your database every time your api changes.

axum plz

I love you videos, however actions-rs/toolchain is long dead. It should not be used since it is not maintained anymore. I would love to see a video on rust ci for building on all os's, then testing audit and clippy on just linux.

But you're running Postgres locally in the Deoplet. Not good! Data will be lost even if you have volume in place. You should separate it. And by doing so, you don't need docker-compose anymore. Jusaying.

I asked the same question. Containers are stateless.

passwords aren't good, there should be a key instead

Why to deploy to virt machine instead of deploying to container services?!! Containers are 10-20 times cheaper than VMs...

rust needs an minimum IDE like dev-C++. somone just modify that to support Rust. Then Rust will take off. Until then, without any basic IDE support for debugging what's the point? FIrst rule of programing language build tools to debug.

You could use docker swarm or dokku instead of docker-compose (which us not really meant for producion). Otherwise, really great video!

deploying rust with docker is pointless. When you write rust apps you expect maximum performance from them. But docker is actually written with more slower languages than rust, it slows down rust very significantly. Because of that rust app's shouldn't be dockerized. If you should dockerize something, than you should write go or more slower and easier language instead. Depending on that, i love to see how to deploy rust apps on a vps and cloud. And i want to learn axum framework. I start to learn rocket in this times.

docker performance is near to native, with noticeable overhead only if you don't use host networking

I've never understood why anyone would favour bloated deployment options to the simple 1) stop service, 2) replace binary, 3) start service.

You are right but only for some types of projects,… when you have small VM infrastructure this is cheapest and easiest option. I have customer, fifty years old company where this is the only way.
