Netlify is a service that automates builds, deployments and manages your websites. It’s one of the fastest and easiest deployment solutions these days.

So far I have only used Heroku to deploy my web applications. Well, that changed today as I decided to branch out and try a different deployment service.

Rust is a language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

Introduction

The Rust programming language helps you write faster, more reliable software. High-level ergonomics and low-level control are often at odds in programming language design; Rust challenges that conflict. Through balancing powerful technical capacity and a great developer experience, Rust gives you the option to control low-level details (such as memory usage) without all the hassle traditionally associated with such control.

What is Rust?

Rust is a low-level statically-typed multi-paradigm programming language that’s focused on safety and performance.

Rust solves problems that C/C++ has been struggling with for a long time, such…

1. Installing MySQL or MariaDB Database

To install MySQL 5.7, execute this command:

apt-get -y install mysql-server mysql-client

The packages mysql-server and mysql-client are so-called ‘meta-packages’, they install always the latest MySQL version that is available from Ubuntu. The latest version is currently MySQL 5.7. We have set the root password for MySQL already during installation, but I would like to remove the anonymous user and test database for security reasons. Run the mysql_secure_installation command below to achieve that.
