Compile your Rust web app in release mode and run the binary on your server to deploy it.
Deploy a Rust web application by compiling it in release mode and running the resulting binary on your server.
- Compile the optimized binary for production.
cargo build --release
- Copy the binary to your target server.
scp target/release/your-app-name user@server:/opt/your-app/
- Start the application on the server.
/opt/your-app/your-app-name
Deploying means taking your code, turning it into a fast, standalone program, and putting it on a computer that the internet can reach. Think of it like baking a cake at home and then delivering the finished cake to a restaurant for customers to eat. You do this to make your web app live and accessible to users.
