Actix Web
Actix Web is a Rust web framework for building asynchronous HTTP servers, web applications, and services.
Rust Servers, Services, and Apps
Actix Web is a Rust web framework for building HTTP servers and web applications.
- How it is used
- Builds asynchronous REST APIs and server-rendered Rust web applications.
- How deep it goes
- Works through server setup, routing, handlers, shared state, and API tests, then extends the application toward persistence and web pages.
- Examples
- Uses a health-check endpoint, three course APIs, a shared visit counter, handler tests, and a static HTML page.
- What you can do after
- Build it from scratch as an Actix Web service with routes, handlers, shared state, tests, and a path toward persistent data.

Latency
Actix is a Rust framework for building actor-based applications.
- How it is used
- Builds asynchronous Rust REST APIs and supports actor-based application concurrency.
- How deep it goes
- Shows runnable server scaffolding, handlers, database integration, actor state handling, and latency measurements.
- Examples
- Uses a counter actor, a /hello endpoint, PostgreSQL and SQLite backends, wrk measurements, and latency distribution plots.
- What you can do after
- Builds a Rust REST service, connects it to a database, and evaluates latency with wrk or a custom benchmark.
