Rust Flavored Cloud-Native

Description:

Rust is a great general purpose language for developing nimble microservices and resilient web apps. However, it's not always obvious how to make our Rust apps ready for the cloud. Let's demystify this process with some real examples.

In this first talk, we'll begin by quickly reviewing 12-factor app guidance and how it applies to Rust. Then, we'll detail efficient container build and deploy strategies. Lastly, we'll dive into securely instrumenting our apps with time-series metrics and distributed logging with the CNCF projects Prometheus and Fluentd with support from Envoy.

During the talk, there will be introductions to lazy_static, serde_json, and crossbeam_channel crates that enable idiomatic, safe and efficient patterns to these implementations.

Come equipped with questions and suggestions for future topics!
