  I find of the two above that the second one is the harder of the two challenges. To be proficient in the ecosystem, you have to understand not just how to write your own code, but also how to make use of others'. Without knowing your usual problem domains, it's tough to give you reference points, but if you're used to writing web apps (e.g. Hapi or Express apps in Node), consider trying your hand at something like Rocket. There are some great resources to get to know your options depending on your domain (e.g. games, web, GUI). Also, if you're a web dev, don't forget that WebAssembly is a thing, so you might look to try migrating some existing code and seeing if you can keep feature parity.

  I finally dusted off my barely-working git hosting solution and added a basic user account system. It took me some time to understand how exactly I was supposed to use password-hash in combination with my hashing function of choice, as well as with the DB. Using sqlx together with Rocket turned out to be somewhat easy once I figured out that I should disregard the built-in database support, since it's seemingly incompatible with sqlx.

  Rocket (A web framework) has the by far most readable and documented codebase

  I think you'll find a lot of people claiming its overkill, but it will have excellent documentation for both sides, offer reasonable speed, and let you hash out the actual logic of your system without worrying too much about if your low-level implementation is correct. Two good frameworks for the server would be Actix or Rocket. For the client, i'd reccomend either using reqwest or ureq. From there, you can just set up a few POST endpoints, and get to going.

  Unable to get it to work, I switched to Rocket. This is being updated to support the new Rust async features but for now is synchronous. I guessed it would solve my problem with the Mailchimp Crate not working properly with async code, and it did seem to solve the issue. This was too difficult to debug as a Rust newbie.

  Rocket is the most established, mature, and accessible web framework in the Rust ecosystem. It is highly customizable and helps you kickstart a new application quickly. At the same time, it avoids a lot of unnecessary boilerplate. Rocket also has many features included, which means that you won’t need to go far from the framework to build everything you need.

• Replacing FastAPI with Rust: Part 2 - Research

  Oh Rocket, you playful muse. I've watched you ascend from my early Rust days; yet each time I reach for you my heart sinks more. This research project of mine led me to okapi, an extension for OpenAPI documentation. And yet, I have to pass once again. While most of the Rust ecosystem blazes toward async, you inch toward it too slowly. Perhaps next time I search for a web framework our paths will align, but until then, I must follow a different orbit.
