Sample code demonstrating a simple micro service in a few languages.
This code accompanies the article Building a Micro-Service in Rust and Python
The basic idea is to create a simple understandable service that could be used to learn Rust and compare with Python which I'm more familiar with.
This is a simple system but it is easy to imagine a scenario where it would be useful to:
- act as a cache for an expensive/slow service
- act as a proxy for authorization purposes
- abstract and standardize one or more APIs
- enrich or combine the data itself in useful ways
