frank_jwt VS Rocket

NOTE: Never store sensitive information about a client in the payload as the JWT is just encoded and not encrypted. You can paste the JWT I gave as an example above in this cool site which basically allows you to see in decoded. JSON Web Tokens - jwt.io

Although they did not make it into production, I experimented with the RabbitMQ message broker, Python (Django, Flask), Kubernetes + minikube, JWT, and NGINX. This was a hobby project, but I intended to learn about microservices along the way.

JSON Web Token (JWT) creation to extend user authentication to server-side functions

The (probably) most famous web resource about JWT - https://jwt.io - provides such a definition of JSON Web Tokens:

If you want to play with JWT and put these concepts into practice, you can use jwt.ioDebugger to decode, verify, and generate JWTs.

In this context, JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) play a crucial role.

Json Web Token (JWT): Even though it is more like an industry standard, we will use JWTs for stateless authentication in this article. If you want to learn more, you can refer to the official documentation.

Se pegar o token jwt podemos ver o que tem dentro, usando o site jwt.io.

JWT token is not encrypted, it's just base64UrlEncoded. So, don't put any sensitive information in payload. Meaning, if for some reason an access token is stolen, an attacker will be able to decode it and see information in payload.Check it here.

4. Rocket

If you want something simpler/more minimal, you could use https://rocket.rs/ for the backend and handle the front-end however you want.

I’m the author of https://kellnr.io. When I started working on Kellnr three years ago, https://rocket.rs was “the web framework” to use. Unfortunately, the project seems dead. Before adding more functionality using an unmaintained framework, I want to port Kellnr to https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum.

Or else you could of course just use https://rocket.rs/

Rust is a popular system programming language, known for its robust memory safety features and exceptional performance. While Rust was originally a system programming language, its application has evolved. Now you can see Rust in different app platforms, mobile apps, and of course, in web apps — both in the frontend and backend, with frameworks like Rocket, Axum, and Actix making it even easier to build web applications with Rust.

I've done some research but I have to admit that creating embedded devices is a totally new subject for me, but that is the point of the project - main goal is learning, and creating something is the secondary goal, so please bear with me and my knowledge of the subject. So, for the hardware I've seen many people recommending SMT32 family devices, but I've also read that anything with the Cortex-M processor can be suitable. Need more info on that. OS is a hard choice for me because on one hand I was thinking of Ubuntu Core but the device support is not really that good I think, so other options I've found are Tock and RIOT-OS, and I am gravitating towards the latter because it's main focus is on IOT devices. I've found frameworks like Rocket.rs for a web app, tauri.app for desktop app (which might not be needed but I still like the idea). Also found Tokio.rs which apparently will help with the networking. There was a discussion from the other members about using the Golioth cloud platform with Zephyr and C++, and I don't know if there are any other alternatives for Golioth that support Rust, I've found webthings.io but I am not sure if it's an alternative, or something else actually, so I would be happy to learn more about that. Again I want to hear your recommendations regarding anything that will help creating a project like that.

I use Rocket on the backend with Postgres. Currently experimenting with Yew for the frontend.
