Overview
"Zero to Production in Rust" by Luca Palmieri is a hands-on guide to building production-ready Rust applications. It covers everything from project setup to deployment.
What I Liked
- Real-world examples using Actix-web
- Excellent coverage of error handling
- Practical testing strategies
- Database integration with SQLx
What Could Be Better
- Some sections feel rushed
- Would love more async deeper dives
Verdict
Highly recommended for intermediate Rust developers who want to build real systems. It's not a beginner book, but it fills a crucial gap in the Rust ecosystem.
