Hello World in Rust with Axum
A minimal web server using Rust and the Axum framework.

I cover project structure, routing, and a clean error-handling approach so you can extend the API without refactoring later.
If you are new to Rust, this post is a friendly on-ramp to building production-style HTTP services.
