Docker image for Rust backend: learn how to
In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a Docker image for a Rust backend. We are going to write a small REST API program with the warp crate. Then we will write a Docker file to build a lean Docker image for it. Creating a Docker image for our applications enables us to more easily distribute and deploy our applications, with the certainty they will run as designed. Check out the full project on my GitHub: https://github.com/tmsdev82/rust-warp-docker-tutorial. Prerequisites To be able to follow along with the tutorial some of the following is useful: Rust installed Installation of Docker…

What is Docker and why is it used: quick primer
This article is a quick primer on Docker for those who have heard of it but have never actually worked with it. Even if you have some experience working with it, this article will provide you with tips or context that will help understand Docker. But also how to use it effectively. Why use Docker In short, Docker makes application development, packaging, and deployment easier. But, why do we need these things to be easier as developers? First, let’s look at some problems that might occur in typical environment without Docker. Applications and their dependencies Each application we develop has…
Dockerized Flask RESTful API: how to
We are going to build a simple dockerized Flask RESTful API for managing collectors items. We will do this by implementing a simple REST API that let’s a client application manipulate a collectors_item resource. The REST API we will build will allow create, read, update, and delete actions on collectors_items. We will use the Python library Flask to do this. Together with a number of Flask plugins to make things easier. At the end we will also dockerize this API. In will continue to build out this project in other tutorials. For that reason, we need a solid, scalable foundation,…
