Ecommerce API, Real World Example with Rust (actix-web as framework and mongodb as database)

I think that the examples and resources of developing async web services in Rust are scarce. So I decided to open-source an API which I developed for an e-commerce site using actix-web framework a couple of months ago. I hope it gives an idea to those who wants to develop async web services using Rust Programming Language.

This API is literally real-wold example, it is live here
