rustls VS bloom

Making HTTPS calls is interesting because it requires a library to interact with TLS, usually openssl. But in order to build the smallest Docker image possible, we need to statically link our program, and statically linking openssl is not that easy. That's why we will avoid openssl and use rustls instead.

Static linking is remarkably easy: Creating small Docker images is a delight.

As a data point, I've served millions of HTTP requests using it, without problems.

For larger projects, I think that actix-web is the incontestable winner. That's why it's my choice for Bloom.

For me the worst part was not the job itself (I did ML related stuff) but the environment (commuting, artificial light all day long...).

Since I moved to the entrepreneurship track I'm way more happy. At first it doesn't pay so you need to have savings, but after some time (depends of the person) you start making a living and you can decide on what to work on.

Today, half of my time is dedicated to writing software that I genuinely believe have a positive impact on the world (https://github.com/skerkour/bloom), and half of my time is dedicated to writing and sharing (I'm writing a book).

The best thing that I've understood is that even if my primary skills are programming and architecture related stuff, it doesn't mean I have to code for a living. There are a lot of jobs related to programming that you can switch to.

Hi, I'm not a video game programmer, I mostly do network and web programming, but I do exactly this in Rust and it works very well. Here is an example for a mailer driver, which is a trait and then implemented for multiple "backends" such as AWS SES or SMTP https://github.com/skerkour/bloom/blob/main/bloom/kernel/src/drivers/mailer/mod.rs.
