Description

The guides at https://hyper.rs/guides/1 could use a revamp. They don't explain nearly enough for someone trying to learn. It'd be good for them to be broken up by topic, but also be able to build up to something useful. Here's the outline of guides I've imagined:

  • Init
    • Setup
    • Runtime: Bring Your Own, or hyper_util::rt::Tokio*
  • Server
    • Hello, world!
    • Routing?
    • Streaming (Echo)
    • Testing (your Service)
  • Client
    • Fetch
    • Post
    • Connectors, Pools, HTTPS
  • Bodies
    • Common
    • Advanced: Frames
  • Integrating?
    • Service
    • Middleware. Tower? Client/Server split?
    • Observability (tracing, metrics, etc)
  • Proxy: Put it all together
  • Upgrading from 0.14

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing guides at https://hyper.rs/guides/1 and comparing them with the issue's proposed outline. Identify the missing or insufficient topics, then reorganize and expand the guides so they build toward useful examples and cover the unchecked Server, Client, Bodies, Integrating, and Proxy sections.
