Supported projects

The following project is recommended for implementing Rust applications using the YugabyteDB YSQL API.

Project	Documentation and Guides	Latest Driver Version	Supported YugabyteDB Version	Example Apps
YugabyteDB Rust-Postgres Smart Driver [Recommended]	Documentation Reference	yb-postgres (synchronous YSQL client): v0.19.7-yb-1-beta yb-tokio-postgres (asynchronous YSQL client): v0.7.10-yb-1-beta	2.19 and later
Diesel	Documentation Hello World			Diesel app

Learn how to establish a connection to a YugabyteDB database and begin basic CRUD operations using the Hello World examples.

For fully-runnable code snippets and explanations of common operations, see the example apps. Before running the example apps, make sure you have installed the prerequisites.

Prerequisites

To develop Rust applications for YugabyteDB, you need the following:

Rust

To download and install Rust, refer to the Rust documentation.

To check the version of Rust, use the following command:
```
$ rustc --version
```
Create a Rust project

To create a new Rust project, run the following command:
```
$ cargo new HelloWorld-rust
```
This creates the project as HelloWorld-rust which consists of a Cargo.toml file (project metadata) and a src directory containing the main code file, main.rs.
YugabyteDB cluster
- Create a free cluster on YugabyteDB Aeon. Refer to Use a cloud cluster. Note that YugabyteDB Aeon requires SSL.
- Alternatively, set up a standalone YugabyteDB cluster by following the steps in Install YugabyteDB.
