Rust API Examples

Testing out various Rust API Frameworks

• actix-web
• axum
• rocket

requirements for apis

• json request/response schemas
• orm / sql / NoSql / DB ?
• OpenAPI Spec Generator + OpenAPI UI
• logging (preferrably struct logs)

Todo

• concurrency / async implementations ? (tokio vs other setups?)
• llvm-cov for coverage
• docker ?
  • aws linux base image?
  • alpine image?
    • what is the smallest docker base image?

Run Locally

Need cargo and/or docker

## Build images
docker build -t actix-web:latest actix-web-api/.
docker build -t axum:latest axum-api/.
docker build -t rocket:latest rocket-api/.

## Run images with ports exposed
docker run -it --rm -p 8000:8000 rocket:latest

Benchmarking

# Need wrk package
brew install wrk

# Run against apis
wrk -t4 -d30s --latecy http://127.0.0.1:8080

New Idea

Build standard todo app crud api.

Standardize endpoints and I/O contracts for APIs.

Make Docker images for all APIs.

Deploy to k3p4 Raspberry Pi Cluster (k3s host).

Use Ansible to automate setup and deployments.

PROFIT! 🤣
