Software Stack
--------------
.. todo:: Eplain why we use Rust (and Flutter)
Proxmox Backup Server consists of multiple components:
* server-daemon providing, among others, a RESTfull API, super-fast
asynchronous tasks, lightweight usage statistic collection, scheduling
events, strict separation of privileged and unprivileged execution
environments, ...
* JavaScript management webinterface
* management CLI tool for the server (`proxmox-backup-manager`)
* client CLI tool (`proxmox-backup-client`) to access the server easily from
any `Linux amd64` environment.
Everything besides the web interface are written in the Rust programming
language.
"The Rust programming language helps you write faster, more reliable software.
High-level ergonomics and low-level control are often at odds in programming
language design; Rust challenges that conflict. Through balancing powerful
technical capacity and a great developer experience, Rust gives you the option
to control low-level details (such as memory usage) without all the hassle
traditionally associated with such control."
