Tokio Web Load Demo

This repository hosts a demo application which hosts a simple tokio webserver which is showing a simple website with statistics data. The generated load is internal (sleep/channels) and external (redis).

Blog articles based on this demo

The following articles have further explanation.

• Chat using Websockets, HTMX and async Rust

Running Threads:

• Tokio Console Subscriber Thread
• Sysinfo Library thread
• Soccerfield Thread
• Root thread (tokio runtime management)
  • • X constant async worker threads (WORKER_THREADS) (default: 1)
  • • Y flexible sync worker threads (SYNC_WORKER_THREADS) (default: 1)

How to

The easiest way is to use the docker-compose file by just starting:

docker-compose up

this should spawn a network including a redis server and the tokio web app. The latter is exposed on http://127.0.0.1:8123.

Kudos

• tokio - for the runtime that makes this possible
• axum - used webserver, including websocket implementation
• htmx - used to refresh the statistics section
• d3js - used to display charts
