Testing out if Rust can be used for a normal Data Engineering Pipeline.

The idea was to try things like HTTP, File Systems, and Database calls (Postgres) out with Rust.

These are normal data engineering functions, is it too verbose to write data pipelines in Rust? The data flow is as follows

• download .zip file.
• unpack the .zip file into .csv, mess with files.
• connect Rust to postgres
• Process CSV file into postgres
• Run some sql and push some rows
