Next Gen Networking Infrastructure with Rust
Summary
Carl Lerche shows how Rust’s “zero cost abstractions” can be leveraged to provide a networking platform that provides expressiveness, speed, and safety with tradeoffs between them. He describes how these techniques are used in Linkerd, a “service mesh” proxy for the next generation of cloud native applications.
Bio
Carl Lerche is a software engineer at Buoyant. He has authored and contributed to many open source Rust libraries, including Tokio, a platform for writing fast networking code.
