Overview

The Axum workspace provides a streamlined setup for building a robust web API using Rust and Docker. With a focus on simplicity and usability, this template version serves as a quick start for developers interested in creating applications that integrate with PostgreSQL. Through an organized structure and minimal configuration, users can swiftly connect to a database and set up an API to run locally, making it an excellent choice for both learning and development purposes.

Whether you’re new to Rust or looking for a scaffold to build upon, this setup includes everything necessary to get acquainted with web APIs in a real-world context. Future enhancements, such as more comprehensive guides and application demos, are also promised to cater to broader needs.

Features

• Lightweight Setup: The project includes a basic Docker configuration with a single PostgreSQL container, allowing for easy deployment and scalability.

• Single Endpoint Route: Provides a straightforward HTTP-GET request at the root path (/), making it simple to test and extend the API functionality.
