Zero To Production In Rust

Zero To Production In Rust is an opinionated introduction to backend development using Rust.

This repository serves as supplementary material for the book: it hosts several snapshots of the codebase for our email newsletter project as it evolves throughout the book.

Chapter snapshots

The main branch shows the project at the end of the book.

You can browse the project at the end of previous chapters by switching to their dedicated branches:

Pre-requisites

You'll need to install:

Rust
Docker

There are also some OS-specific requirements.

Windows

cargo install -f cargo-binutils
rustup component add llvm-tools-preview

cargo install --version="~0.7" sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features rustls,postgres

Linux

# Ubuntu 
sudo apt-get install lld clang libssl-dev postgresql-client
# Arch 
sudo pacman -S lld clang postgresql

cargo install --version="~0.7" sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features rustls,postgres

MacOS

How to build

Launch a (migrated) Postgres database via Docker:

./scripts/init_db.sh

Launch a Redis instance via Docker:

./scripts/init_redis.sh

Launch cargo:

cargo build

You can now try with opening a browser on http://127.0.0.1:8000/login after having launch the web server with cargo run.

There is a default admin account with password everythinghastostartsomewhere. The available entrypoints are listed in src/startup.rs
