Rust on Kubernetes: A Beginner’s Guide to Developing and Deploying Rust Applications

Rust is a powerful and safe systems programming language that has been gaining popularity among developers due to its emphasis on safety, speed, and concurrency. Kubernetes, on the other hand, is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications. By combining Rust and Kubernetes, you can create highly performant, scalable, and secure applications that are easy to deploy and manage.

In this blog post, we’ll walk through the process of developing and deploying a simple Rust application on Kubernetes. This tutorial is aimed at beginner to intermediate Rust developers who want to learn more about using Rust with Kubernetes.

Here are some prerequisites…

• Basic understanding of Rust programming and the Rust toolchain
• Familiarity with Docker and containerisation
• Some experience with Kubernetes and its concepts

Let's get started!

Step 1: Creating a simple Rust application

First, let’s create a simple Rust application that serves an HTTP endpoint. We’ll use the warp web framework for this purpose. Create a…
