Cynic: Rusty Graphql: Graeme Coupar
The story of how I came to write a new Rust GraphQL client library, the evolution of its API and how it’s being used in a national chicken restaurant chain.

Wasmcloud, a next-gen platform in Rust and Wasm: Stuart Harris
Building and managing distributed systems with microservices today is fraught with complexity and hidden cost. We look at how platforms are evolving, Wasmcloud as a next-generation platform, and the part that Rust and Web assembly have to play in blurring the distinction between the cloud and the edge. We’ll get our hands dirty and build a Wasmcloud cluster on a couple of Raspberry Pi machines and walk through running some example workloads written in Rust.
