Rust for the web

This time we have been collaborating with Mainmatter to prepare this special event called Rust for the web.

We will have two talks and a final panel.

TALK 1: Excitement of Football, Reliability of Rust by Matilda Smeds

Abstract: In this talk Matilda explores architectural choices, stack, and the rollercoaster of experiences along the way, of developing a backend of a football mobile game. Join in to hear about the twists, turns and unexpected delights of building a distributed backend with Rust.

Bio: Matilda Smeds is a seasoned software engineer, who has spent the last three years in the gaming industry. In her current role at Matchday, she leverages Rust to develop a backend for a football mobile game.

TALK 2: Rust in production—safety, performance, productivity, and strictness by Gleb Pomykalov

Abstract: Rust is the team's main language, and we use it inside the team for several products in Workato, including services and the WASM library. This session will summarize the experience of writing applications with Rust - strong and not-so-strong parts of it. We will see real-live examples where Rust behaves great and when it can't help preventing issues because of default permissive settings or because there is just no good response for now.

Bio: Gleb Pomykalov is an Engineering Director at Workato, where they build the platform for enterprise IT automation

FINAL PANEL
A panel with both speakers will follow the talks. Luca Palmieri will be moderating the discussion.

Moderator bio: Luca Palmieri works as a Principal Engineering Consultant at Mainmatter. He has been part of the Rust community since 2018 and is best known as the author of “Zero to Production in Rust”, the go-to book for backend development in Rust.
