In this course, you will learn how to use Rust to build scalable websites that are highly performant. 

More specifically, you will learn the fundamentals of Rust for web development including types, ownership, macros, and more. Later on this course, you will move onto more advanced web development concepts like working with databases, backend architecture, as well as frontend, giving you the opportunity to develop your full-stack skills.

Throughout each chapter, you will have the chance to work on building out a real project which can be used in your portfolio and shown to employers. 

By the end of this course, you will be able to build websites with scalability in mind.

Scalable Web Development in Rust

# Basic endpoint
There are several web frameworks we can choose to create our web application in Rust. One of the most popular is **Actix Web**. In order to install it, we need to add a dependency in our `Cargo.toml` file.

Next, we run `cargo build` to install the dependency.

Now, we’re ready to write our Hello World application.


use actix_web::{web, App, HttpRequest, HttpServer, Responder};

async fn greet(req: HttpRequest) -> impl Responder {
    let name = req.match_info().get("name").unwrap_or("World");
    format!("Hello {}!", &name)
}

#[actix_web::main]
async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    HttpServer::new(|| {
        App::new()
            .route("/{name}", web::get().to(greet))
    })
    .bind(("127.0.0.1", 8080))?
    .run()
    .await
}

We create an `async` function called `greet` that returns a response and implements the `Responder` trait.

We define a `Server` and send `greet` to our route. We pass a `name` parameter to our request and print it as part of our Hello World application.

Next, we write an endpoint that returns `Ok` or an internal server error.
