  3. exploring-rust-ecosystem

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

    gRPC server

  4. rust-embed

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

    Images of planets are included in the application binary at compile time using rust_embed crate (at the development time they are loaded from a file system).

  5. teloxide

    🤖 An elegant Telegram bots framework for Rust

    As was said earlier, for visibility purposes, gRPC client is also a Telegram bot. To implement the bot, teloxide library was used.

  6. bloomrpc

    Discontinued Former GUI client for gRPC services. No longer maintained.

    To perform requests to the server you can use some gRPC client (for example, BloomRPC):

  7. gRPC

    C++ based gRPC (C++, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, PHP, C#)

    In this article, you will see how to create gRPC server and client in Rust. For visibility purposes, the client will also be a Telegram bot. Finally, the following architecture will be obtained:

  8. Protobuf

    Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format

    Service definition is written in proto3 version of Protocol Buffers language and is located in the .proto file:

  9. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.
