zero-to-production VS rust-blog

I'd highly recommend reading some articles by Luca Palmieri[1], or even buying his book[2]. Although I didn't learn this stack by working through his book, whenever I had questions through the years, my searches usually led me to his articles which are often excerpts from the larger book.

The high level of API stability and lack of churn in the Actix ecosystem makes the book a particularly good investment for someone looking to settle on this stack in my opinion. In keeping with the topic of this submission, I doubt I'd be comfortable spending money on a similar book about building web apps with React.

Zero to Production in Rust - Book by Luca Palmieri: An in-depth book that guides readers through building a fully functional backend application in Rust, from zero to production.

And the book "Zero To Production In Rust - An introduction to backend development", I didn’t read it yet but seems pretty good

It’s a lot simpler if you add serde to the mix (derive Deserialize for your settings types). Have a look at the example from the Zero to Production book: https://github.com/LukeMathWalker/zero-to-production/blob/main/src/configuration.rs

You probably want to check out the Zero to Production book which is about using Rust for back-end development.

If your'e more into a tutorial with a book https://www.zero2prod.com/ is really good. You gonna build a newsletter service. With all the good stuff in backend development.

If you want to build a backend in Rust, Axum (which uses hyper underneath) is pretty recommended these days, as it's all in the tokio ecosystem. Actix Web is good too, but it has its own ecosystem of libraries. I read the book Zero To Production in Rust [0] which was a great overview on not just Rust but scalable backend architectures as a whole.

Interestingly, Cloudflare wanted to use hyper but found that it was too correct, so they had to build their own [1].

In addition to the book, which has already been recommended. If you’re specifically into backend you should try Zero to Production. Luca really knows what he’s talking about, and it’s an excellent overview of backend rust and the development process in general.

I highly recommend the book Zero to Production in Rust which also has an associated GitHub. I like the style of the writing and the explanations used within the book. Even though it uses Rust, the concepts seem to work in any language - I have applied the concepts to both Go and Python in the past.

Using Rust in Non-Rust Servers to Improve Performance (https://github.com/pretzelhammer/rust-blog/blob/master/posts/rust-in-non-rust-servers.md) by Pretzelhammer

Hands down the best resource (after you've had sufficient experience with Rust, especially so) - https://github.com/pretzelhammer/rust-blog/blob/master/posts/common-rust-lifetime-misconceptions.md

I really really recommend reading this to understand lifetimes and generics in Rust better.
