Exposing your PostgreSQL database as a REST API.

rust-postgres-rest

Libraries for exposing your PostgreSQL database as a REST API.

Libraries

• postgres-rest-actix
  Use actix-web to serve a REST API for your PostgreSQL database.

• postgres-rest
  Contains the functions necessary to turn a PostgreSQL database into a REST API. Used by postgres-rest-actix.

rust-postgres-rest's Issues

Publish to crates.io

Whenever tokio-postgres v0.16 is out of release candidate status and rust-decimal is updated to support the new version, we can publish to crates.

Remove dependency: failure

I decided to use the failure crate for our errors as I was just starting to learn Rust at the time. Since then I've learned that it is probably better to just use std::error::Error and remove an unnecessary dependency.

Use const fn's

There's probably areas where we can have better performance by converting our functions/methods to const fn.

Dependabot couldn't fetch all your path-based dependencies

Dependabot couldn't fetch one or more of your project's path-based Rust dependencies. The affected dependencies were ../../../Misc/_delete/rust-decimal/Cargo.toml.

To use path-based dependencies with Dependabot the paths must be relative and resolve to a directory in this project's source code.

Implement with Thruster

https://github.com/trezm/Thruster shows promise.

Would require postgres-rest to stop depending on the Actix runtime (and use tokio instead).

Convert to async functions + await syntax

We can make our codebase more readable by using async-await syntax.

Depends on Rust 1.39 hitting stable and actix + tokio-postgres moving to std::futures.

Remove actor for stats cache

We can just store it directly in the struct.

Benchmark to find out performance

Benchmark the library against others:

• Elixir/Phoenix (w/ Ecto)
• postgrest
• hasura

Check these as examples for how to write one:
