Rocket is a toolkit for building web applications in Rust that handles the heavy lifting of server management. You define functions to handle specific web addresses, and Rocket automatically connects them to the internet. It's like setting up a restaurant where you only need to write the recipes, and Rocket handles the kitchen, waiters, and front door.
