just setup: Apply migrations using prisma-cli.
just generate: Generate the Prisma Client using prisma-cli.
just run: Run the application using cargo run.
just watch: Use cargo watch to automatically reload the application on file changes.
just build: Build the application using the development profile.
just release: Build the application for release.
just test: Run tests using cargo test.

Docker Setup

If you prefer Docker, follow these steps:

Build the Docker image:

The Dockerfile includes steps to build the project within a Docker container. Particularly, the cargo prisma generate command is used to generate the Prisma Client during the Docker image build process. This command parses the Prisma schema and creates a client tailored to the defined database structure.
```
docker-compose build

Start the containers:
```
docker-compose up
```

Environment Variables

Ensure your environment variables are appropriately set. Here are some examples:

DATABASE_URL: MySQL database URL.
PORT: Port on which the application runs.
