In this video, we explored the Axum web framework for the Rust programming language.

This is a follow-up to our previous live stream where we built a simple REST API that allows us to create and store simple textual notes in memory.

In this episode, we improved the state management of our server by using Axum State extractor (https://docs.rs/axum/latest/axum/#sharing-state-with-handlers) and we added persistence on a SQLite database using the sqlx crate (https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx).

The code is available here: https://github.com/lmammino/trying-axum
