Let’s talk about Rust: Rust and AWS Serverless with Luciano

from Great Backend Engineering (GBE) Hosted by Solomon Eseme

Luciano Mammino, Senior Architect and author of “Node.js Design Patterns,” joins Solomon Eseme, Founder and CTO of Masteringbackend and author of “Rust Essentials”, to discuss the powerful combination of Rust and serverless computing. 🦀In this podcast, Luciano shares his experience with Rust and AWS Lambda and how they interact. He provides practical examples of building Rust applications and deploying them to AWS Lambda.We covered:🧠 Why Rust’s performance and type system make it surprisingly good for backend development💸 How faster cold starts and smaller binaries can mean lower cloud bills📉 The real tradeoffs (like a steeper learning curve and smaller community)🔧 Best practices for shipping Rust Lambdas — including Infrastructure as Code and using tools like cargo lambda👨‍💻 Plus, a live coding session where I scaffold, test, and deploy a real Lambda with Rust — all in minutes!
