Adding necessary dependencies

First, we need to create a new folder where we'll add the necessary dependencies to create our first microservice. Use cargo to make a new project called hyper-microservice:

> cargo new hyper-microservice

Open the created folder and add dependencies to your Cargo.toml file:

It also uses the tokio crate for runtime, which includes the scheduler, reactor, and asynchronous sockets. Some of the necessary types of the tokio crate are re-exported in the hyper::rt module. The main purpose of hyper is to operate with the HTTP protocol, which means that the crate ...
