Look inside
UMET Inc. is growing! To support its increasingly complex features and services, the CTO has decided to refactor its backend technology stack, and the dev team has chosen the memory-safe, high-performance Rust programming language for this important investment in the company’s future. As a new developer at UMET, your task is to build proof-of-concept (PoC) Rust applications using Cargo or Docker tools, then securely run the applications in portable WasmEdge runtime containers to validate that the new backend stack meets all the necessary requirements. When you’re done, you’ll have mastered Rust basics for application development, including working with strings, managing complex data structures, and creating an HTTP web server.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
