+# Code Snippet Share API
+
+A lightweight API for sharing code snippets, built with **Rust**, **Axum**, and **Shuttle**. This hands-on tutorial demonstrates how to build, deploy, and manage a snippet-sharing service in the cloud.
+
+---
+
+## Features
+
+- Create, list, view, and delete code snippets.
+- Public and private snippet support.
+- Tracks view count for each snippet.
+- Filter snippets by programming language.
+- Lightweight in-memory storage (ideal for tutorials and demos).
+
+---
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+- **Rust** - Fast, safe, and expressive.
+- **Axum** - Web framework for building async HTTP APIs.
+- **Shuttle** - Rust serverless hosting platform.
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Rust (stable)
+- Cargo
+- Shuttle CLI: [Install Shuttle](https://docs.shuttle.dev/getting-started/installation)
+
+### Run Locally
+
+```bash
+shuttle run
+```
+
+The API will start on `http://127.0.0.1:8000`
+
+### Deploy to Shuttle
+
+```bash
+shuttle deploy
+```
+
+Your service will be live with a public URL provided by Shuttle.
+
+### Project Structure
+
+```bash
+.
+├── Cargo.lock
+├── Cargo.toml
+├── README.md
+└── src
+    └── main.rs
+```
