𝗕𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟-𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘𝗥 You want to build a real-time chat server. You can use Rust and WebAssembly (WASM) to create a fast and interactive server.
Here's what you'll learn:
- How to build a scalable chat server with low latency
- How to use Rust for the backend and WASM for the frontend
- How to implement basic authentication and message persistence
- How to test your server with unit, integration, and end-to-end tests
You'll need:
- Rust toolchain installed
- Basic knowledge of Rust and asynchronous programming
- Node.js/npm (optional)
Your tech stack will include:
- Backend: Rust, Warp or Actix-Web, tokio, tungstenite
- Frontend: Rust + WASM or a lightweight JS client
- Persistence: SQLite or PostgreSQL
You can deploy your server using Docker and a simple reverse proxy. Source: https://dev.to/therizwansaleem/building-a-real-time-websocket-based-chat-server-with-rust-and-wasm-44d3
