The Rust Prague Meetup will happen again in November, this time in cooperation with Barclays!

**Note that this time, the meetup is at a difference place, at Barclays Prague Office!**

This event is organized by Arto Gahr.

Program:

* **17:50 - Kickoff**

* **18:00 - 18:45**
**Michael Vlach:** *Building a Graph database in Rust: From Zero-Dependency to RAFT and API Transpilers*
A practical, progressively deeper tour of Rust through the design and evolution of agdb, a graph database. It starts with Rust’s core differences (ownership, lifetimes, zero-cost abstractions) and why they shaped agdb’s inception. Then it walks through implementing an embedded, zero-dependency graph engine (storage layout, WAL, ACID) with just the standard library. Next, it scales to a distributed server with RAFT consensus protocol. Finally, it explores procedural macros to transpile the Rust DB API into other languages, generating types, clients, and bindings from a single source.
* **18:50 - 19:35**
**Jakub Beránek (kobzol)**:*Tips for writing better (Rust) tests*
Tests are great, until they suddenly aren't. Test code is still code, and not spending enough thought and effort on refactoring and maintenance, or writing tests in a way that requires changing them very often, can lead to slower development and overall annoyance. I'll share some tips for writing tests in maintainable and creative ways and show that you can (and probably should) test almost anything.
* **19:40 - 20:20**
**Christian Schilling:** *Beyond Subtrees: An Algebra for Git*
Josh began as a drop-in replacement for git subtree. It has since grown into a versatile tool for composing, filtering, and synchronizing Git repositories. At its core, Josh defines an algebra for Git — a language of composable, reversible transformations on repository history. This talk covers how to use it as a subtree replacement, the algebra behind it and its implementation in Rust, how stored filters define predefined working sets, and how they enable scoped CI and automation.

We will meet on November 28 at Barclays Prague Office, Gemini Building A, Na Pankráci 1683/127, Praha 4.

When entering the building, you will need to get a visitor badge at the entrance.

As usual, we expect a smaller group of attendees to seek a place to chat after the event. You're welcome to join.

The venue is provided by the Barclays company. Refreshments will be provided at this event.

If you want to present a talk at either this meetup or any future meetup, talk to us at the [discord channel](https://discord.com/channels/984549594572664854/1045122051012317194) or sign up [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdWFgyJ9Kp0bVRZ-1wqD8JTueKrcjh9sEAePouZo69MWOARLw/viewform).
