description:

High-performance Rust APIs with Axum + Tokio + sqlx: typed routes, extractors, async DB, deploy small.

// What you can do with it

• A Router built with .route("/path", get(handler)) and merged sub-routers.
• Handlers using real extractors — Path, Query, Json, and State — returning Result, AppError> where AppError implements IntoResponse.
• A shared PgPool created via PgPoolOptions::new().connect(&url), stored in State and cloned cheaply per request.
• Compile-time-checked queries with the sqlx::query! / query_as! macros (backed by sqlx-cli and a .sqlx offline cache).
• tower-http layers: TraceLayer, CorsLayer, and timeout/compression as needed.
• A migrations/ folder runnable with sqlx migrate run, and a distroless/scratch Dockerfile.
