# Deploy rust on Deplomo

Deploy Rust on Deplomo for Axum, Actix Web, and Rocket. Connect from Git or the CLI, set build and run commands, configure environment variables and a domain, then deploy your Rust service.

Short answer

forDeploy rust For Axum and Actix Web, an optimized release build runs directly on the server. To learn about container environments, see the [Cloud containers](/products/containers) dedicated [Rust hosting](/products/rust) and the guide [Deployment guide](/guides) guide.

## Prepare your project for Deploy rust

Add the project dependency files, `Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock` to your Git repository. Default build and run commands for this stack:

```
# Build command
cargo build --release

# Run command
./target/release/app
```

Match the binary name to the project package and configure the listener for 0.0.0.0:$PORT.

## Automatic deployment directly from the Git repository

- Create a new project and environment in the Deplomo user panel.

- Connect the service to the GitHub or GitLab repository and the desired branch.

- Set the build and run commands to match your project.

- Set the required environment variables, then deploy.

- Connect your custom domain in the Domains section and use free SSL.

## Deploy a local folder with Deplomo CLI

```
curl -fsSL https://get.deplomo.com/install.sh | sh
deplomo login
cd your-project
deplomo deploy
deplomo logs
```

Use the Deplomo CLI to deploy local code directly without pushing it to Git.

On Windows (PowerShell), use `irm https://get.deplomo.com/install.ps1 | iex` instead of the first command.

## Production tips for Rust

- Keep Cargo.lock in Git for production applications.

- Use a multi-stage build to reduce image size.

- Handle SIGTERM and drain connections during shutdown.

- Check the health check and startup time before routing live traffic.

- Store persistent data and user files on persistent disks or cloud storage.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I deploy and build Rust apps?

The Rust build runs cargo build --release to compile the final binary for production.

### How much RAM does a Rust project need to deploy?

Rust builds can use more memory during compilation. After deployment, the optimized binary may use less RAM.
