Rust for backend REST API

[helabenkhalfallah]

Hello,

I want to use Rust as Backend REST API.

Is this recommended (especially in production's env) ? What are the limits and the runtime and infrastructure constraints to consider ?

I want to use mongodb as database, is this possible ? and graphql ?

Is there some recommended references ?

Thank you so much for your help

Is this recommended (especially in production's env) ?

Yes. That's one of Rust's core purposes.

What are the limits and the runtime and infrastructure constraints to consider ?

Rust doesn't add a lot of overhead, so it completely depends on your code. Rust supports many platforms as can be seen here.

Rust is a compiled language, so unlike PHP, python, Ruby, etc., you have to build your project before deploying it.

I want to use mongodb as database, is this possible ?

Yes.

graphql ?

Yes.

Is there some recommended references ?

Here.
