Enjoy the session! 🦊
Highlights
We decided to go with Rocket.rs Getting Started and learn how to register handles with the web app. We also learned about managing Cargo dependencies and Cargo targets.
After finishing the implementation, we wanted to add Prometheus Monitoring metrics with rocket_prometheus. Since Rocket requires Rust nightly builds, we also needed to use the main.rs example from the async branch.
We used Gitpod and the GitLab Web IDE to develop only in the browser, and allowing everyone to follow async.
