In this video, I show a tool we created to generate a Rust Backend Starter Kit with a clean, production-minded project structure.

Instead of starting every Rust backend project from scratch, this generator gives you a ready foundation with the most common backend building blocks already included.

The generated starter kit includes:

✅ Axum for building fast Rust web APIs
✅ SQLx + PostgreSQL for database access
✅ Docker Compose for local development
✅ JWT Authentication for secure login flows
✅ Structured Logging for better debugging and observability
✅ Health Checks for production readiness
✅ Metrics Endpoint for monitoring
✅ Clean Project Structure for maintainable backend development

This is useful for Rust developers who want to move beyond small examples and start building real-world backend services with a solid foundation.

Whether you are learning Rust backend development, building a SaaS API, preparing for production systems, or creating portfolio projects, this starter kit can save you time and help you follow better engineering practices from day one.

What you will learn in this video
How the Rust Starter Kit generator works
What files and folders it creates
How Axum, SQLx, PostgreSQL, Docker, JWT, logging, health checks, and metrics fit together
Why having a production-style backend template is useful
How this can help you build real Rust backend projects faster

This is not just another “Hello World” Rust example.

The goal is to create a practical backend foundation that looks closer to what real engineering teams use.
