Master Rust Backend Development with Axum | Workspace Kit with Auth, Role & Permission System

Build a full backend in Rust using the Axum framework. In this video, I walk through the finished code and demonstrate how it works using Postman. The Workspace Kit is a production‑ready backend project that includes authentication, role‑based access control (RBAC), permissions, workspace management, and secure route protection, making it ideal for SaaS‑style platforms or team collaboration tools. I cover setting up the Rust project, designing the database schema, implementing authentication, role‑permission engine, and invite system, and testing the API with Postman. 00:00 - Intro: Rust Backend Overview & What You’ll Build 02:11 - Setting Up Rust Project & Dependencies (Axum, SQLx, JWT) 06:30 - Creating and Configuring .env File 10:19 - Designing the Database Schema & Running SQLx Migrations 35:11 - Defining Permission Constants for Role-Based Access Control 36:29 - Creating Data Models with Structs & Enums (User, Workspace) 38:09 - Building HTML Email Templates for Rust Mailing 41:59 - Loading Environment Settings in Rust (dotenv & config) 52:46 - Centralized API Error Handling in Rust (Custom Errors) 1:12:55 - Token & Password Security in Rust (JWT, Argon2 Hashing) 1:53:06 - Sending Emails in Rust (SMTP Integration & Mail Crate) 2:17:13 - Validating Request Payloads with DTOs in Rust 3:34:07 - Writing Secure SQLx Queries for PostgreSQL 5:26:18 - Setting Up Axum Web Server in main.rs 5:38:35 - Building Authentication Middleware with User Roles & Permissions 6:06:23 - Writing Auth & User & Workspace API Handlers (Login, Register, Me) 8:39:07 - Organizing & Configuring Axum Routes for API 8:47:19 - Running Rust Axum Backend Project 8:49:23 - Fixing Runtime Errors in Rust Project 8:51:30 - Testing Rust API Using Postman Collection 9:10:26 - Final Thoughts, Deployment Tips & Thank You
