Multi-Threaded Web Server

This web server implements a thread pool of Worker struct(s) which receives a Message containing a Job or an instruction to Terminate.

Running

• cargo run to run
• Call the API at 127.0.0.1:7878

Crate Structure

• connection.rs: starts the listener using the thread pool
• thread_pool.rs: implements the thread pool of workers, instatiate and termination
• worker.rs: implements each worker
• message.rs: has the message types which the worker receives

As a Rust excercise

This repository aims to display the implementation of a number of Rust features/paradigms. This means that perhaps some things could have been different, but there were some "artistic liberties" taken in order to make use of these features/paradigms. A number of them are:

• There is no action taken other than a println! of the received request
• The listeners are limited to 2 calls and then shutdown. This is to illustrate the Termination message. In order to remove this search and remove .take(2) in connection.rs

This builds on knowledge/learning/practice from the Elevator Excercise and adds:

• Thread pool
• Workers
• Smart Pointers (RC, ARC)

Pending for a follow-up excercise:

• gRPC
• Asynchronous programming
• Macros
