Actix vs Rocket - Rust Lang Web Framework Performance Comparison

Dive into a comprehensive performance comparison between Actix and Rocket, two popular Rust web frameworks. Learn how to code web servers from scratch using both frameworks, run performance tests on native hardware and Docker, and analyze the results. Explore the TechEmpower rankings to understand how these Rust frameworks stack up against other languages like Node.js with Express. Follow along as the tutorial guides you through creating, compiling, and testing both debug and release builds, as well as setting up multi-stage Docker builds for each framework. Gain insights into whether server performance should be a deciding factor when choosing a web framework for your Rust projects.
