Secure Rust development with GitLab

What this post added

This post details how GitLab CI/CD can be leveraged for secure Rust development. It provides concrete examples of `.gitlab-ci.yml` configurations for building Rust applications across multiple platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS) using cross-compilation. It also demonstrates setting up automated testing, including unit tests, integration tests, and code quality checks (Clippy, formatting). Furthermore, it showcases publishing Rust applications as generic artifacts to the GitLab Package Registry and containerizing them for the GitLab Container Registry. The post highlights the benefits of GitLab's caching mechanisms for Rust's compilation times and its integrated DevSecOps approach.
