Google Cloud Run Tutorial for Rust Lang

Overview

Explore serverless computing using Google Cloud Run with Rust in this comprehensive tutorial. Learn how to build a Rust web server using Actix-web and Docker on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Create and configure a Rust Actix-web server, build it using Google Cloud Build, and optimize the process with Kaniko. Set up Google Cloud Shell, enable and configure your Google account, and deploy your Rust Actix-web server to Google Cloud Run. Dive into Cloud Run's scaling and logging capabilities, including blue/green deployments, and understand how to manage deployments and traffic. Gain insights into serverless computing through autoscaling demonstrations. While focused on Rust, the principles apply to other web frameworks suitable for Cloud Run hosting. Cover topics such as serverless concepts, Cloud Run vs. Cloud Functions, containerization, Google Cloud SDK installation, project setup, API enablement, service account permissions, build optimization, deployment strategies, logging, load testing, and traffic management.
