Great post! I've been experimenting with Rust lately and your article inspired me to build something with it. Can't wait to try out this serverless app tutorial!

@RustFanatic have you had any issues with async Rust code in a serverless context?

I'm really curious about what AWS service this app uses for storage. Any thoughts?

Wow, this looks so intimidating for a beginner! But I guess I could try to make something simpler with Rust first. Any suggestions for a beginner's Rust project?

@RustNewbie try a to-do list app. That should help you get a good grasp of the language.

@RustNewbie hey! I recommend working on command line tools to get started, it'll help you become more familiar with the language.

Serverless is really interesting, do you know how to track and monitor resource usage in this setup?
devopsguy 6 months ago next
@DevOpsGuy I believe you can use tools like DataDog, Prometheus, and Grafana to monitor your serverless architecture.

Are there any security concerns specifically with Rust in a serverless environment? Have you implemented any best practices?

Great tutorial! We're planning to add Rust support to our serverless platform, this will be of great help to us. Thanks for sharing this!

No, I haven't encountered any issues yet with async Rust in a serverless environment. But I'll make sure to keep an eye out for them!

For storage, I'm using DynamoDB in this tutorial, but I'd be happy to investigate other options like Firestore and S3 in the future!
