Technical Foundation and Architecture
During my exploration of modern web development, I discovered that understanding the underlying architecture is crucial for building robust applications. The Hyperlane framework represents a significant advancement in Rust-based web development, offering both performance and safety guarantees that traditional frameworks struggle to provide.
The framework's design philosophy centers around zero-cost abstractions and compile-time guarantees. This approach eliminates entire classes of runtime errors while maintaining exceptional performance characteristics. Through my hands-on experience, I learned that this combination creates an ideal environment for building production-ready web services.
use hyperlane::*;
use hyperlane_macros::*;
use tokio::time::{Duration, sleep};
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use std::sync::Arc;
use std::collections::HashMap;
#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct ApplicationConfig {
server_host: String,
server_port: u16,
max_connections: usize,
request_timeout: u64,
enable_compression: bool,
cors_origins: Vec<String>,
}
impl Default for ApplicationConfig {
fn default() -> Self {
Self {
server_host: "0.0.0.0".to_string(),
server_port: 8080,
max_connections: 10000,
request_timeout: 30,
enable_compression: true,
cors_origins: vec!["*".to_string()],
}
}
}
async fn initialize_server(config: ApplicationConfig) -> Result<Server, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let server = Server::new();
server.host(&config.server_host).await;
server.port(config.server_port).await;
server.enable_nodelay().await;
server.disable_linger().await;
// Configure buffer sizes for optimal performance
server.http_buffer_size(8192).await;
server.ws_buffer_size(4096).await;
Ok(server)
}
The configuration system demonstrates the framework's flexibility while maintaining type safety. Each configuration option is validated at compile time, preventing common deployment issues that plague other web frameworks.
Core Concepts and Design Patterns
My journey with the Hyperlane framework revealed several fundamental concepts that distinguish it from traditional web frameworks. The most significant insight was understanding how the framework leverages Rust's ownership system to provide memory safety without garbage collection overhead.
Context-Driven Architecture
The Context pattern serves as the foundation for all request handling. Unlike traditional frameworks that pass multiple parameters, Hyperlane encapsulates all request and response data within a single Context object. This design simplifies API usage while providing powerful capabilities:
use hyperlane::*;
use serde_json::{json, Value};
use std::collections::HashMap;
async fn advanced_request_handler(ctx: Context) {
// Extract request information
let method = ctx.get_request_method().await;
let path = ctx.get_request_path().await;
let headers = ctx.get_request_headers().await;
let query_params = ctx.get_request_query_params().await;
let body = ctx.get_request_body().await;
// Process authentication
let auth_result = authenticate_request(&ctx).await;
if !auth_result.is_valid {
ctx.set_response_status_code(401)
.await
.set_response_header(CONTENT_TYPE, APPLICATION_JSON)
.await
.set_response_body(json!({
"error": "Authentication failed",
"code": "AUTH_REQUIRED"
}).to_string())
.await;
return;
}
// Process business logic
let response_data = match method.as_str() {
"GET" => handle_get_request(&ctx, &query_params).await,
"POST" => handle_post_request(&ctx, &body).await,
"PUT" => handle_put_request(&ctx, &body).await,
"DELETE" => handle_delete_request(&ctx, &query_params).await,
_ => {
ctx.set_response_status_code(405).await;
return;
}
};
// Send response
ctx.set_response_status_code(200)
.await
.set_response_header(CONTENT_TYPE, APPLICATION_JSON)
.await
.set_response_header("X-Request-ID", generate_request_id())
.await
.set_response_body(serde_json::to_string(&response_data).unwrap())
.await;
}
struct AuthResult {
is_valid: bool,
user_id: Option<String>,
permissions: Vec<String>,
}
async fn authenticate_request(ctx: &Context) -> AuthResult {
let auth_header = ctx.get_request_header("Authorization").await;
match auth_header {
Some(token) if token.starts_with("Bearer ") => {
let jwt_token = &token[7..];
validate_jwt_token(jwt_token).await
},
_ => AuthResult {
is_valid: false,
user_id: None,
permissions: vec![],
}
}
}
async fn validate_jwt_token(token: &str) -> AuthResult {
// JWT validation logic would go here
// For demonstration purposes, we'll simulate validation
AuthResult {
is_valid: true,
user_id: Some("user123".to_string()),
permissions: vec!["read".to_string(), "write".to_string()],
}
}
fn generate_request_id() -> String {
use std::time::{SystemTime, UNIX_EPOCH};
let timestamp = SystemTime::now().duration_since(UNIX_EPOCH).unwrap().as_millis();
format!("req_{}", timestamp)
}
Middleware System Architecture
The middleware system provides a powerful mechanism for implementing cross-cutting concerns. Through my experimentation, I discovered that the framework's middleware architecture enables clean separation of concerns while maintaining high performance:
use hyperlane::*;
use std::time::Instant;
use log::{info, warn, error};
async fn logging_middleware(ctx: Context) {
let start_time = Instant::now();
let method = ctx.get_request_method().await;
let path = ctx.get_request_path().await;
let user_agent = ctx.get_request_header("User-Agent").await.unwrap_or_default();
let client_ip = ctx.get_socket_addr_or_default_string().await;
info!("Request started: {} {} from {} ({})", method, path, client_ip, user_agent);
// Store start time for response middleware
ctx.set_response_header("X-Request-Start", start_time.elapsed().as_millis().to_string())
.await;
}
async fn security_middleware(ctx: Context) {
// Add security headers
ctx.set_response_header("X-Content-Type-Options", "nosniff")
.await
.set_response_header("X-Frame-Options", "DENY")
.await
.set_response_header("X-XSS-Protection", "1; mode=block")
.await
.set_response_header("Strict-Transport-Security", "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains")
.await
.set_response_header("Content-Security-Policy", "default-src 'self'")
.await;
}
async fn cors_middleware(ctx: Context) {
let origin = ctx.get_request_header("Origin").await;
if let Some(origin_value) = origin {
if is_allowed_origin(&origin_value) {
ctx.set_response_header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", origin_value)
.await
.set_response_header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS")
.await
.set_response_header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Content-Type, Authorization")
.await
.set_response_header("Access-Control-Max-Age", "86400")
.await;
}
}
}
fn is_allowed_origin(origin: &str) -> bool {
let allowed_origins = vec![
"",
"",
""
];
allowed_origins.contains(&origin)
}
Real-Time Communication Implementation
One of the most impressive features I discovered was the framework's built-in support for real-time communication protocols. The implementation of WebSocket and Server-Sent Events demonstrates the framework's commitment to modern web standards:
use hyperlane::*;
use hyperlane_broadcast::*;
use tokio::sync::broadcast;
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct ChatMessage {
id: String,
user_id: String,
username: String,
content: String,
timestamp: i64,
message_type: MessageType,
}
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
enum MessageType {
Text,
Image,
File,
System,
}
static CHAT_BROADCAST: Lazy<Broadcast<ChatMessage>> = Lazy::new(|| {
Broadcast::new()
});
async fn websocket_chat_handler(ctx: Context) {
let mut receiver = CHAT_BROADCAST.subscribe().await;
let user_id = extract_user_id(&ctx).await;
// Send welcome message
let welcome_msg = ChatMessage {
id: generate_message_id(),
user_id: "system".to_string(),
username: "System".to_string(),
content: format!("User {} joined the chat", user_id),
timestamp: chrono::Utc::now().timestamp(),
message_type: MessageType::System,
};
let _ = ctx.set_response_body(serde_json::to_string(&welcome_msg).unwrap())
.await
.send_body()
.await;
// Handle incoming messages and broadcasts
loop {
tokio::select! {
// Handle incoming WebSocket messages
request_body = ctx.get_request_body() => {
if let Ok(message) = serde_json::from_slice::<ChatMessage>(&request_body) {
let validated_message = ChatMessage {
id: generate_message_id(),
user_id: user_id.clone(),
username: message.username,
content: sanitize_message_content(&message.content),
timestamp: chrono::Utc::now().timestamp(),
message_type: message.message_type,
};
// Broadcast to all connected clients
let _ = CHAT_BROADCAST.send(validated_message).await;
}
},
// Handle broadcast messages
broadcast_msg = receiver.recv() => {
if let Ok(msg) = broadcast_msg {
let serialized = serde_json::to_string(&msg).unwrap();
let _ = ctx.set_response_body(serialized)
.await
.send_body()
.await;
}
}
}
}
}
async fn extract_user_id(ctx: &Context) -> String {
// Extract user ID from JWT token or session
ctx.get_request_header("X-User-ID")
.await
.unwrap_or_else(|| format!("anonymous_{}", generate_random_id()))
}
fn generate_message_id() -> String {
use uuid::Uuid;
Uuid::new_v4().to_string()
}
fn generate_random_id() -> String {
use rand::Rng;
let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();
(0..8).map(|_| rng.gen_range(0..10).to_string()).collect()
}
fn sanitize_message_content(content: &str) -> String {
// Basic content sanitization
content
.replace('<', "<")
.replace('>', ">")
.replace('&', "&")
.chars()
.take(1000) // Limit message length
.collect()
}
Performance Analysis and Optimization
Through extensive benchmarking and profiling, I discovered that the Hyperlane framework delivers exceptional performance characteristics. The combination of Rust's zero-cost abstractions and the framework's efficient design results in impressive throughput and low latency.
Benchmarking Results
My performance testing revealed remarkable results when compared to other popular web frameworks. The framework consistently achieved high request throughput while maintaining low memory usage:
use hyperlane::*;
use std::time::{Duration, Instant};
use tokio::time::sleep;
use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicU64, Ordering};
use std::sync::Arc;
struct PerformanceMetrics {
request_count: AtomicU64,
total_response_time: AtomicU64,
error_count: AtomicU64,
start_time: Instant,
}
impl PerformanceMetrics {
fn new() -> Self {
Self {
request_count: AtomicU64::new(0),
total_response_time: AtomicU64::new(0),
error_count: AtomicU64::new(0),
start_time: Instant::now(),
}
}
fn record_request(&self, response_time: Duration) {
self.request_count.fetch_add(1, Ordering::Relaxed);
self.total_response_time.fetch_add(response_time.as_micros() as u64, Ordering::Relaxed);
}
fn record_error(&self) {
self.error_count.fetch_add(1, Ordering::Relaxed);
}
fn get_stats(&self) -> (f64, f64, f64, f64) {
let requests = self.request_count.load(Ordering::Relaxed);
let total_time = self.total_response_time.load(Ordering::Relaxed);
let errors = self.error_count.load(Ordering::Relaxed);
let elapsed = self.start_time.elapsed().as_secs_f64();
let rps = requests as f64 / elapsed;
let avg_response_time = if requests > 0 {
(total_time as f64 / requests as f64) / 1000.0 // Convert to milliseconds
} else {
0.0
};
let error_rate = if requests > 0 {
(errors as f64 / requests as f64) * 100.0
} else {
0.0
};
(rps, avg_response_time, error_rate, elapsed)
}
}
async fn performance_test_endpoint(ctx: Context) {
let start_time = Instant::now();
// Simulate some processing work
let data = perform_cpu_intensive_task().await;
let db_result = simulate_database_query().await;
let response_data = serde_json::json!({
"status": "success",
"data": data,
"db_result": db_result,
"processing_time_ms": start_time.elapsed().as_millis(),
"timestamp": chrono::Utc::now().timestamp()
});
ctx.set_response_status_code(200)
.await
.set_response_header(CONTENT_TYPE, APPLICATION_JSON)
.await
.set_response_header("X-Processing-Time", start_time.elapsed().as_millis().to_string())
.await
.set_response_body(response_data.to_string())
.await;
}
async fn perform_cpu_intensive_task() -> Vec<u64> {
// Simulate CPU-intensive computation
let mut results = Vec::with_capacity(1000);
for i in 0..1000 {
let fibonacci = calculate_fibonacci(i % 30);
results.push(fibonacci);
}
results
}
fn calculate_fibonacci(n: u64) -> u64 {
match n {
0 => 0,
1 => 1,
_ => {
let mut a = 0;
let mut b = 1;
for _ in 2..=n {
let temp = a + b;
a = b;
b = temp;
}
b
}
}
}
async fn simulate_database_query() -> serde_json::Value {
// Simulate database latency
sleep(Duration::from_millis(5)).await;
serde_json::json!({
"query_result": "success",
"rows_affected": 42,
"execution_time_ms": 5
})
}
Memory Management Optimization
The framework's memory management strategy impressed me with its efficiency. Rust's ownership system eliminates garbage collection overhead while preventing memory leaks and buffer overflows:
use hyperlane::*;
use std::collections::HashMap;
use std::sync::{Arc, RwLock};
use tokio::sync::Mutex;
// Efficient connection pool implementation
struct ConnectionPool<T> {
connections: Arc<Mutex<Vec<T>>>,
max_size: usize,
current_size: Arc<RwLock<usize>>,
}
impl<T> ConnectionPool<T> {
fn new(max_size: usize) -> Self {
Self {
connections: Arc::new(Mutex::new(Vec::with_capacity(max_size))),
max_size,
current_size: Arc::new(RwLock::new(0)),
}
}
async fn get_connection(&self) -> Option<T> {
let mut connections = self.connections.lock().await;
connections.pop()
}
async fn return_connection(&self, connection: T) {
let mut connections = self.connections.lock().await;
if connections.len() < self.max_size {
connections.push(connection);
}
}
}
// Zero-copy string processing
fn process_request_path_efficiently(path: &str) -> (&str, HashMap<&str, &str>) {
let mut params = HashMap::new();
if let Some(query_start) = path.find('?') {
let (base_path, query_string) = path.split_at(query_start);
let query_string = &query_string[1..]; // Skip the '?' character
for param_pair in query_string.split('&') {
if let Some(eq_pos) = param_pair.find('=') {
let (key, value) = param_pair.split_at(eq_pos);
let value = &value[1..]; // Skip the '=' character
params.insert(key, value);
}
}
(base_path, params)
} else {
(path, params)
}
}
Advanced Features and Capabilities
My exploration of the framework's advanced features revealed sophisticated capabilities that set it apart from conventional web frameworks. The integration of modern Rust ecosystem tools creates a powerful development environment.
Server-Sent Events Implementation
The framework's SSE support enables efficient real-time data streaming with minimal overhead:
use hyperlane::*;
use tokio::time::{interval, Duration};
use serde_json::json;
async fn real_time_metrics_stream(ctx: Context) {
ctx.set_response_header(CONTENT_TYPE, TEXT_EVENT_STREAM)
.await
.set_response_header("Cache-Control", "no-cache")
.await
.set_response_header("Connection", "keep-alive")
.await
.set_response_status_code(200)
.await
.send()
.await;
let mut interval_timer = interval(Duration::from_secs(1));
let mut counter = 0u64;
loop {
interval_timer.tick().await;
counter += 1;
let metrics = collect_system_metrics().await;
let event_data = json!({
"id": counter,
"timestamp": chrono::Utc::now().timestamp(),
"metrics": metrics
});
let sse_message = format!("data: {}\n\n", event_data);
if ctx.set_response_body(sse_message)
.await
.send_body()
.await
.is_err() {
break; // Client disconnected
}
}
}
async fn collect_system_metrics() -> serde_json::Value {
use sysinfo::{System, SystemExt, CpuExt};
let mut system = System::new_all();
system.refresh_all();
json!({
"cpu_usage": system.global_cpu_info().cpu_usage(),
"memory_used": system.used_memory(),
"memory_total": system.total_memory(),
"process_count": system.processes().len(),
"uptime": system.uptime()
})
}
Dynamic Routing and Path Parameters
The routing system supports complex pattern matching and parameter extraction:
use hyperlane::*;
use regex::Regex;
use std::collections::HashMap;
async fn dynamic_api_handler(ctx: Context) {
let route_params = ctx.get_route_params().await;
let path = ctx.get_request_path().await;
match extract_api_version_and_resource(&path) {
Some((version, resource, id)) => {
let response = match version.as_str() {
"v1" => handle_v1_api(&resource, id, &ctx).await,
"v2" => handle_v2_api(&resource, id, &ctx).await,
_ => {
ctx.set_response_status_code(400).await;
return;
}
};
ctx.set_response_status_code(200)
.await
.set_response_header(CONTENT_TYPE, APPLICATION_JSON)
.await
.set_response_body(serde_json::to_string(&response).unwrap())
.await;
},
None => {
ctx.set_response_status_code(404).await;
}
}
}
fn extract_api_version_and_resource(path: &str) -> Option<(String, String, Option<String>)> {
let re = Regex::new(r"/api/(v\d+)/(\w+)(?:/(\w+))?").unwrap();
if let Some(captures) = re.captures(path) {
let version = captures.get(1)?.as_str().to_string();
let resource = captures.get(2)?.as_str().to_string();
let id = captures.get(3).map(|m| m.as_str().to_string());
Some((version, resource, id))
} else {
None
}
}
async fn handle_v1_api(resource: &str, id: Option<String>, ctx: &Context) -> serde_json::Value {
match resource {
"users" => handle_users_v1(id, ctx).await,
"posts" => handle_posts_v1(id, ctx).await,
_ => json!({ "error": "Resource not found" })
}
}
async fn handle_v2_api(resource: &str, id: Option<String>, ctx: &Context) -> serde_json::Value {
match resource {
"users" => handle_users_v2(id, ctx).await,
"posts" => handle_posts_v2(id, ctx).await,
_ => json!({ "error": "Resource not found" })
}
}
async fn handle_users_v1(id: Option<String>, ctx: &Context) -> serde_json::Value {
match ctx.get_request_method().await.as_str() {
"GET" => {
if let Some(user_id) = id {
json!({ "user_id": user_id, "version": "v1", "name": "John Doe" })
} else {

}
}
async fn handle_users_v2(id: Option<String>, ctx: &Context) -> serde_json::Value {

}
Best Practices and Production Considerations
Through my experience deploying applications built with the Hyperlane framework, I learned several critical best practices that ensure reliable production performance.
Error Handling and Resilience
Robust error handling is essential for production applications. The framework provides excellent tools for implementing comprehensive error management:
use hyperlane::*;
use thiserror::Error;
use serde_json::json;
#[derive(Error, Debug)]
enum ApplicationError {
#[error("Database connection failed: {0}")]
DatabaseError(String),
#[error("Authentication failed: {0}")]
AuthenticationError(String),
#[error("Validation failed: {field}")]
ValidationError { field: String },
#[error("Rate limit exceeded")]
RateLimitError,
#[error("Internal server error")]
InternalError,
}
async fn global_error_handler(error: PanicInfo) {
eprintln!("Application panic occurred: {}", error);
// Log error details
log::error!("Panic: {}", error);
// Optionally send error to monitoring service
send_error_to_monitoring(&error.to_string()).await;
}
async fn send_error_to_monitoring(error_message: &str) {
// Implementation would send error to monitoring service
// like Sentry, DataDog, or custom monitoring solution
println!("Sending error to monitoring: {}", error_message);
}
async fn resilient_request_handler(ctx: Context) {
let result = process_request_with_retry(&ctx, 3).await;
match result {
Ok(response_data) => {
ctx.set_response_status_code(200)
.await
.set_response_header(CONTENT_TYPE, APPLICATION_JSON)
.await
.set_response_body(serde_json::to_string(&response_data).unwrap())
.await;
},
Err(error) => {
let (status_code, error_response) = map_error_to_response(&error);
ctx.set_response_status_code(status_code)
.await
.set_response_header(CONTENT_TYPE, APPLICATION_JSON)
.await
.set_response_body(serde_json::to_string(&error_response).unwrap())
.await;
}
}
}
async fn process_request_with_retry(ctx: &Context, max_retries: u32) -> Result<serde_json::Value, ApplicationError> {
let mut attempts = 0;
loop {
match attempt_request_processing(ctx).await {
Ok(result) => return Ok(result),
Err(error) => {
attempts += 1;
if attempts >= max_retries || !is_retryable_error(&error) {
return Err(error);
}
// Exponential backoff
let delay = Duration::from_millis(100 * 2_u64.pow(attempts - 1));
tokio::time::sleep(delay).await;
}
}
}
}
async fn attempt_request_processing(ctx: &Context) -> Result<serde_json::Value, ApplicationError> {
// Simulate processing that might fail
let random_failure = rand::random::<f64>() < 0.1; // 10% failure rate
if random_failure {
Err(ApplicationError::DatabaseError("Connection timeout".to_string()))
} else {
Ok(json!({ "status": "success", "data": "processed" }))
}
}
fn is_retryable_error(error: &ApplicationError) -> bool {
match error {
ApplicationError::DatabaseError(_) => true,
ApplicationError::InternalError => true,
ApplicationError::AuthenticationError(_) => false,
ApplicationError::ValidationError { .. } => false,
ApplicationError::RateLimitError => false,
}
}
fn map_error_to_response(error: &ApplicationError) -> (u16, serde_json::Value) {
match error {
ApplicationError::DatabaseError(msg) => (500, json!({
"error": "Internal Server Error",
"message": "Database operation failed",
"code": "DB_ERROR"
})),
ApplicationError::AuthenticationError(msg) => (401, json!({
"error": "Unauthorized",
"message": msg,
"code": "AUTH_ERROR"
})),
ApplicationError::ValidationError { field } => (400, json!({
"error": "Bad Request",
"message": format!("Validation failed for field: {}", field),
"code": "VALIDATION_ERROR"
})),
ApplicationError::RateLimitError => (429, json!({
"error": "Too Many Requests",
"message": "Rate limit exceeded",
"code": "RATE_LIMIT"
})),
ApplicationError::InternalError => (500, json!({
"error": "Internal Server Error",
"message": "An unexpected error occurred",
"code": "INTERNAL_ERROR"
})),
}
}
Troubleshooting and Common Issues
During my development journey, I encountered several challenges that taught me valuable lessons about debugging and optimizing Hyperlane applications.
Performance Debugging
When facing performance issues, systematic profiling revealed bottlenecks and optimization opportunities:
use hyperlane::*;
use std::time::{Duration, Instant};
use tokio::time::timeout;
async fn performance_monitoring_middleware(ctx: Context) {
let start_time = Instant::now();
let request_id = generate_request_id();
// Add request tracking headers
ctx.set_response_header("X-Request-ID", &request_id)
.await
.set_response_header("X-Request-Start", start_time.elapsed().as_millis().to_string())
.await;
// Log request start
log::info!("Request {} started: {} {}",
request_id,
ctx.get_request_method().await,
ctx.get_request_path().await
);
}
async fn timeout_wrapper_handler(ctx: Context) {
let request_timeout = Duration::from_secs(30);
match timeout(request_timeout, actual_request_handler(ctx.clone())).await {
Ok(_) => {
// Request completed successfully
},
Err(_) => {
// Request timed out
ctx.set_response_status_code(408)
.await
.set_response_header(CONTENT_TYPE, APPLICATION_JSON)
.await
.set_response_body(serde_json::json!({
"error": "Request Timeout",
"message": "Request took too long to process"
}).to_string())
.await;
}
}
}
async fn actual_request_handler(ctx: Context) {
// Your actual request handling logic here

Memory Leak Detection
Rust's ownership system prevents most memory leaks, but monitoring memory usage remains important:
use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicUsize, Ordering};
use std::sync::Arc;
static ACTIVE_CONNECTIONS: AtomicUsize = AtomicUsize::new(0);
static TOTAL_REQUESTS: AtomicUsize = AtomicUsize::new(0);
async fn connection_tracking_middleware(ctx: Context) {
ACTIVE_CONNECTIONS.fetch_add(1, Ordering::Relaxed);
TOTAL_REQUESTS.fetch_add(1, Ordering::Relaxed);
// Add connection info to response headers
ctx.set_response_header("X-Active-Connections", ACTIVE_CONNECTIONS.load(Ordering::Relaxed).to_string())
.await
.set_response_header("X-Total-Requests", TOTAL_REQUESTS.load(Ordering::Relaxed).to_string())
.await;
}
async fn connection_cleanup_middleware(ctx: Context) {
// This runs after the request is processed
ACTIVE_CONNECTIONS.fetch_sub(1, Ordering::Relaxed);
}
async fn health_check_endpoint(ctx: Context) {
let memory_info = get_memory_usage().await;
let connection_info = get_connection_stats().await;
let health_data = serde_json::json!({
"status": "healthy",
"timestamp": chrono::Utc::now().timestamp(),
"memory": memory_info,
"connections": connection_info,
"uptime_seconds": get_uptime_seconds()
});
ctx.set_response_status_code(200)
.await
.set_response_header(CONTENT_TYPE, APPLICATION_JSON)
.await
.set_response_body(health_data.to_string())
.await;
}
async fn get_memory_usage() -> serde_json::Value {
// Implementation would use system monitoring libraries
serde_json::json!({
"used_mb": 128,
"available_mb": 1024,
"usage_percent": 12.5
})
}
async fn get_connection_stats() -> serde_json::Value {
serde_json::json!({
"active": ACTIVE_CONNECTIONS.load(Ordering::Relaxed),
"total_processed": TOTAL_REQUESTS.load(Ordering::Relaxed)
})
}
fn get_uptime_seconds() -> u64 {
// Implementation would track application start time
3600 // Example: 1 hour uptime
}
