backbone-metadata

An experimental API written in Rust with Axum to try to reproduce Notion data model for a service that is supposed to store metadata information about a service mesh, an application, etc…

Structure of the project

This project is workspace of four seperate Rust "crates" (e.g. a library), that are rougthly corresponding to following domains:

metadata-bin a CLI executable which can start the HTTP server and listen to incoming HTTP requests
metadata-http a library containing methods to instantiate Axum routers and all HTTP request handlers serving the routed paths.
metadata-data-layer a library responsible to provide SQL tables mapping and SQL queries that are usable through functions.

There is also utility libraries included that is providing useful functions, structs, traits or enums. They are splitted to reduce the need to recompile the whole project when a change is made.

Building the project

First, you'll need to have Rust toolchain installed on your machine. It compiles with Rust 1.76.0 or higher with the stable or nightly toolchain.

To build backbone-metadata, use the following commands:

$ git clone git@github.com:rigma/rusty-experimentation.git
$ cd rusty-experimentation
$ cargo build --bin backbone-metadata

This will build the projects in "debug" mode which is not stripping debug symbols and not optimized. To build the project in "release" mode use the following command instead:

$ cargo build --bin backbone-metadata --release
