Simple server-workers poc simulating an IoT network.

🌐 Distributed Worker-Server System in Rust

Welcome to our Distributed Worker-Server System project! This system, written in the powerful Rust programming language, showcases a network of worker nodes communicating with a central server. Each worker node, upon starting, establishes a connection with the server and participates in the network communication.

Features 🌟

• Rust-Powered: Leverages Rust's excellent concurrency and safety features for network operations.
• Server-Worker Architecture: Implements a basic model where workers connect to and communicate with a central server.
• Asynchronous Communication: Uses asynchronous programming for efficient, non-blocking network communication.
• Scalable Design: The architecture is designed with scalability in mind, allowing for an increase in the number of worker nodes.

Getting Started 🚀

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have Rust and Cargo installed on your machine. Visit Rust's official site for installation instructions.
• Basic understanding of Rust and network programming.

Installation

Clone the repository to get started:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/iot_poc.git
cd iot_poc

Usage 🖥️

Running the Server

Navigate to the server project's directory:

cd server
cargo run

The server will start and listen for incoming connections from worker nodes.

Running Worker Nodes

In a new terminal, navigate to the worker project's directory:

cd workers
cargo run

This will start a worker node that connects to the server. You can open multiple terminals and run this command to simulate multiple worker nodes.

How It Works 🔍

• Server: The server listens on a specified port for incoming connections from workers. It can handle multiple worker connections simultaneously.
• Workers: Each worker establishes a connection with the server on startup. They then communicate with the server, sending and receiving messages.
