Rust Meetup Linz - 12th Edition

Birthday meetup 🥳🎈🎂, Next week we celebrate one year of RUST LINZ meetups. Thank you so much to all speakers, organizers, and participants for all your contributions!

---

Of course, we need something special for such an event. We spoke with our friends at the GRAND GARAGE (https://grandgarage.eu/) and they allow us to use their huge sun deck for the FIRST IN-PERSON RUST LINZ meetup ever 😎. To keep everyone safe, everything will happen outdoor and 3G is a must.

In celebration of our one-year anniversary, we will provide some drinks (soft drinks, beer, Radler) and we are looking forward to a great evening with people who are as excited about Rust as we are. We want to thank 🙏 the city of Linz (https://innovationshauptplatz.linz.at/en/) and dynatrace (https://www.dynatrace.com/) for sponsoring our anniversary meetup.

🚨 IMPORTANT: If you join us in person, be sure to take your 3G papers along and register on Tito: https://ti.to/rust-linz/rust-linz-meetup-12-anniversary -- We have a cap of 50 people on the venue, so registration is required.

If you cannot come in person, you can join our LIVE STREAM. As usual, all talks are streamed and will be recorded and published on YouTube. You can also interact using our Discord server. We will monitor the discussions and relay questions to the speakers.

We will have two talks from our very own Rust Linz organizers Stefan Baumgartner and Rainer Stropek. The talks are Rust beginner-friendly, so don't hesitate to join us even if you have no or limited Rust experience.

First talk, approx. 18:45-19:30 (6:45pm-7:30 CET)
SERVERLESS RUST - Stefan Baumgartner

If you run your software in the cloud, you might have already done some Serverless programming. Be it either as glue code that connects existing services or for your entire web API. But can we run Serverless workloads with our most favorite programming language as well?

We can! In this talk, we are going to look at how to run serverless workloads in Rust in Azure Functions and AWS Lambda. In doing so, we will see the fundamental differences between both serverless providers, and what effect this has on your applications!

---

Second Talk, approx. 20:00-20:45 (8:00pm-8:45 CET)
TRAITS - NOT YOUR GRANDPARENTS' INTERFACES - Rainer Stropek

Developers who approach Rust from the viewpoint of other OO languages like TypeScript, C#, or Java frequently misinterpret Rust's traits as interfaces. That might be true to a certain extent, but on closer examination traits are much more powerful than you might think. In this demo-only session, Rainer Stropek starts by introducing you to the fundamentals of traits. You will see how to create your own ones, how to manually implement system traits, and how to auto-implement them. Once we covered those basics, Rainer dives deeper into unique features of traits. We will look at default implementations, trait parameters, trait objects, and trait bounds for generics.
