Rust Systems Examples

Rust implementations of different systems concepts.

This repo is a concept lab: each example is intentionally minimal and self-contained so you can learn a topic quickly, run it, and reference it later.

Structure

• examples/ contains individual, runnable projects.
• crates/ is reserved for shared libraries or future experiments.

Getting started

Prereqs:

• Rust toolchain
• Additional tools as noted per example (e.g., protoc for gRPC)

Run an example:

cd examples/<example-name>
cargo run --bin <bin-name>

If you want to run from anywhere:

cargo run --manifest-path /path/to/examples/<example-name>/Cargo.toml --bin <bin-name>

Examples

• examples/grpc-basic: minimal gRPC server/client using tonic + prost. See examples/grpc-basic/README.md.
• examples/websockets: planned websocket example. See examples/websockets/README.md.

Notes

• Examples favor clarity and small size over completeness.
• If an example uses codegen, check its build.rs or README for tool requirements.
• rust-analyzer makes it easy to inspect generated code via “Go to Definition” on types from tonic::include_proto!.
