Getting started with MongoDB and Redis in Rust

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Access the most powerful time series database as a service
  • SonarQube - Static code analysis for 29 languages.
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • exploring-rust-ecosystem

    A set of examples that demonstrate how to create a backend application using Rust ecosystem

    The project is implemented with MongoDB Rust driver and redis-rs crate.

  • mongo-rust-driver

    The official MongoDB Rust Driver

    The project is implemented with MongoDB Rust driver and redis-rs crate.

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • redis-rs

    Redis library for rust

    The project is implemented with MongoDB Rust driver and redis-rs crate.

  • MongoDB

    The MongoDB Database

    This guide will show you how to create a Rust web backend that uses MongoDB, a document-based database, to store data and Redis for caching, rate limiting, and notifications. For visibility purposes, created demo application will also be a web application that exposes REST API. Finally, the following architecture will be obtained:

  • rust-embed

    Rust Macro which loads files into the rust binary at compile time during release and loads the file from the fs during dev.

    But then it turned out that the images can’t be read from the database due to the lack of GridFS support in MongoDB Rust Driver (open ticket). So for simplicity purposes, I decided to use rust_embed crate which allows including images in the application binary at compile time (at the development time they are loaded from a file system). (It is also possible to store images separately from the application; images folder should be mounted as a volume in the Docker Compose service definition)

  • Redis

    Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. The data model is key-value, but many different kind of values are supported: Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, Hashes, Streams, HyperLogLogs, Bitmaps.
