# Rust + Tokio + Axum on ESP32-S3
This is an example application that demonstrates how to use Rust, Tokio and Axum to build a web server on the ESP32-S3 microcontroller.
## Quick Start
You'll need tools:
- `espup` - a tool to install the ESP32 toolchain and other tools
- `cargo-espflash` - a tool to flash the ESP32
```
cargo install espup cargo-espflash
espup install
```
### Build and run
1. Set the WiFi credentials as environment variables. They will be baked into the executable at build time.
- `WIFI_SSID`
- `WIFI_PASS`
2. This command builds the project and flashes it to the ESP32-S3:
```sh
cargo espflash flash --release --monitor
```
### Test it
Once the ESP32-S3 is connected to your network, it displays the IP address on the serial console. The server runs on port 80.
```sh
$ curl http://192.168.0.24/state | jq
{
"counter": 940,
"free_heap": 216452,
"ip_address": "192.168.0.24",
"mac_address": "DC:DA:0C:2A:26:C8",
"message": "Hello from ESP32!"
}
```
## But is it any good?
I mean, this is strapping rockets to a bicycle.
It works if you don't overload it. The ESP32-S3 is a microcontroller with limited resources. The web server can only handle a few requests at a time before it runs out of memory.
### Ballpark numbers
- 5 concurrent requests
- 50 requests per second
If I go over ~5 concurrent requests, IDF runs out of memory and crashes.
Axum wasn't designed for microcontrollers to put it mildly. It's actually a miracle it works at all. I did this for science. We do what we must because we can.
### Alternatives
Besides Axum, Warp also works. It uses somewhat less memory, so you can maybe throw a few more requests at it.
At the time of writing this, Rocket and Actix-web don't work since they require Tokio's `rt-multi-thread` feature which doesn't compile on EPS32 yet.
Honestly, just use MQTT or something. It's a microcontroller, not a server.
## Other ESP32 chips
See `.cargo/config.toml` for the list of supported chips. Set the `target` to the chip you're using.
