Rust Poland Meetup x Krakow

History in the making! This isn’t just another meetup—it’s Kraków’s turn to ignite the Rust community with top-tier talks, networking, and a dash of chaos (the good kind). Whether you’re a seasoned Rustacean or just curious about the language, join us for an evening of code, connections, and surprises.

Oh, and meet Compiled—the Rust powerhouse behind Rust Poland. Think of us as the build system for this community: optimizing connections, caching knowledge, and linking awesome people. More on that soon…

Featured speakers & talks

Piotr Gankiewicz
Software Engineer @ Hugin.io | Apache Iggy PPMC
Talk Title: Let's build our own message streaming platform
What would it take to build your own Kafka or Redpanda? How could you achieve the throughput of millions of messages per second? Is it really so complex to pipe the data through the basic, append-only log storage? I’d like to share what we’ve learned over the last 2 years when building Apache Iggy message streaming infrastructure from the ground up.

Mateusz Lenart
