Rust Axum Greedy Coin Microservice

In this hands-on, 2-hour long project, you will gain practical experience using Rust and Axum to build, test, and deploy a microservice for calculating coin change. Through implementing the greedy algorithm, building API routes and handlers with Axum, and containerizing the web app, you will learn how to rapidly develop services in Rust and deploy them easily across environments. Gain in-demand skills and directly apply them by developing your own functioning microservice start to finish!
