I've written a few APIs in Rust and I'm kinda baffled on what the author is trying to convey. On the one hand he mentions that it's a simple CRUD application, on the other hand he mentions complexity that arose from using Rust. I wish he gave some concrete examples of problems that they have. From my experience, when writing web APIs, most of the problems with Rust are not really that visible. Most of the time you get a request, process some data or interact with a database (or both) and return the response. In this scenario you don't often have to deal with lifetimes or any of the advanced stuff.
