## What it is
Companion code repository for the book 'Zero To Production In Rust', containing chapter-by-chapter snapshots of an email newsletter API built in Rust. It serves as supplementary learning material for backend development with Rust, including tests and CI/CD setup.

## Use cases
- learn backend development in Rust
- build a production-ready API with Rust
- learn integration testing in Rust
- set up CI/CD for a Rust project
- learn authentication and authorization in a Rust API
- structure a modular Rust web application
- learn structured logging and observability in Rust

## When to choose
- you are reading or planning to read the Zero To Production In Rust book
- you want a realistic, tested example of a Rust backend API
- you learn best by following a project as it evolves chapter by chapter

## When to avoid
- you want a production framework or library to drop into your own project
- you need a standalone application rather than educational code
- you are not working in Rust

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: stable
- function: web-framework, api-framework, testing, auth, logging, ci-cd, error-handling, database
- domain: backend, web-development, tutorials, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: book, rust-backend, email-newsletter, sqlx, actix-web, supplementary-code, chapter-snapshots, docker
