Get started programming Rust applications for the Internet of Things (IoT). This book is a programming skills migration book that teaches you the Rust programming techniques most useful for IoT applications. This book will guide you through the process of developing a set of IoT applications, from server to board.
In Rust for the IoT, you'll learn how to build a modern server-side application using Rust on the backend. Then you'll use Docker and Kubernetes to deploy these to a managed cloud. Finally, you will use a Raspberry Pi with a SenseHat and camera to capture the world around you and send that information to the cloud.
While you will be able to follow along without any cloud or hardware, to make the most of it we recommend a few cloud pieces and hardware that are designed to integrate with the software in this book. After reading and using this book, you'll see how to apply Rust to the Internet of Things.
What You Will Learn
- Create a modern Rust backend complete with handling eventual consistency and interacting via a GraphQL interface.
- Use the Raspberry Pi to serve as a cheap IoT device that one can easily deploy around the house.
- Capture temperature and video, and use the interactive joystick to interact with the software you’ve created.
- Use OpenCV to perform facial detection from the PI’s camera and save that information to the cloud.
- Create deployable helm charts for the cloud, and for the device, create complete ISOs that allow you to easily deploy the Pi’s OS + custom software.
Who This Book Is For
You will need to have a basic understanding of cloud application development at a minimum and the basics of Rust coding. This book is for IoT and Raspberry Pi enthusiasts who want to use Rust.
