How Rust Helps Keep Kentik’s Performance on High

"today’s post is for our fellow programmers"

Would be nice to go into some of the technical details or see _any_ code in this post, since Rust networking code interesting. As is, reads as nothing more than an advertisement.

Agreed. This was incredibly light on the details, and the only thing we learn is that they use nom and Cap’n Proto. I’d really like to know how they did their network code, and what their experiences with nom were like.

Kentik has very nice BGP analytics should you ever have the need to do such a thing!

I don't get it - this talk is about a project that is written in Golang and not rust

The first half of the blog post talks about where they use Rust. They state that most of their system is written in Go, and they like it a lot, and they use Rust to complement it.

What part don't you understand? They explicitly say that they wrote several major parts (ingest, protocol decoding, disk storage backend, query layer) in Rust.

Firefox is written in C++ too, but uses Rust for lotsa things.

My mistake sorry. This is what happens when I skip-play videos to save time.
