Luciano Mammino, Senior Architect and author of “Node.js Design Patterns,” joins Luca Palmieri, Mainmatter’s Principal Engineering Consultant and author of “Zero to Production in Rust”, to discuss the powerful combination of Rust and serverless computing. 🦀
In their conversation, Luciano shares his experience transitioning from high-level languages like JavaScript to Rust, focusing on serverless environments in cloud-native development. They talk about the advantages Rust brings in terms of performance and safety, particularly in AWS Lambda functions, and discuss the challenges and rewards of adopting Rust in commercial projects.
Key topics include:
- The learning curve of Rust for high-level language developers
- Using Rust in serverless environments for cost and performance optimization
- Best practices and tools like Cargo Lambda for deploying Rust in AWS Lambda
- How Rust’s safety features give developers confidence in production
