Rust & Actix Web - Build a CRUD API with SQLX and MySQL

In this article, we will explore how to use Rust, Actix Web, SQLX, and MySQL to build a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) API. We will start by setting up a MySQL database, defining our data model, and creating the necessary database tables. Next, we will use SQLX to interact with the database and Actix Web to build the API endpoints.
