Rust in Production

Imagine you're faced with the challenge to build a system that can handle billions of recyclable items per year with the goal of being better than a human at identifying what can be recycled. Material classification is a complex problem that requires a lot of data and a lot of processing power and it is a cutting-edge field of research. Carters Schultz and his colleagues at AMP cho

In the season premier we talk to none other than Daniel Stenberg! We focus on integrating Rust modules in curl, their benefits, ways in which Rust and Rust crates helped improve curl, but also how curl helped those crates, and where curl is used in the official Rust toolchain. Along the way we also learn about the early history of curl and Rust, which section of your car's owner's-

In this episode of Rust in Production, we reflect on the inaugural season, sharing insights from companies pioneering with Rust to shape the future of infrastructure. Starting with Rust's early days before the stable compiler, we chart the language's evolution and its growing adoption in production by leading companies. The episode explores why companies choose Rust, highlighting i

In an ever-expanding world of microservices, APIs, and devices, maintaining an overview of application states and the myriad errors that can occur is challenging. For years, Sentry has been a go-to choice for developers to monitor their applications and receive notifications about issues within their code.Traditionally, Sentry was predominantly a Python shop, but they became one of

Have you ever wondered how computers stay in sync with the time? That is theresponsibility of the Network Time Protocol (NTP). Around since 1985, NTP is oneof the oldest protocols still in use on the internet and its referenceimplementation, ntpd, written in C, is still widely used today.That's a problem. C is a language that is not memory safe, and ntpd has had itsshare of securit

In this episode, we have Micah Wylde from Arroyo as our guest. Micah introduces us to Arroyo, a real-time data processing engine that simplifies stream processing for data engineers using Rust. They explain how Arroyo enables users to write SQL queries with Rust user-defined functions on top of streaming data, highlighting the advantages of real-time data processing and discussing
