My program is small enough that in TS/JS I'd normally just store the data in some global variable to be access from whatever elsewhere in the app. But with Rust from what I can tell this doesn't seem to be a common practice. How should i handle this?

More specifically, I need to:

  1. program start, fetch data from my db (DONE)
  2. store this data somehow somewhere
  3. access said data (for read only in this use case)

Thanks for any insights here!

    Glad I clicked on this... I'd never heard of /used OnceCell, and have a literally identical need in a program I'm writing. Nice!
