Rust efficiencies at AWS scale (Ship It! #89)
Tim McNamara is known as New Zealand's Rust guy. He is the author of Rust in Action, and also a Senior Software Engineer at AWS, where he helps other builders with all things Rust. The main reason why Gerhard is intrigued by Rust is the incredible resource frugality. Fewer CPUs means less energy used, which is good for the planet, and good for the monthly bill. This becomes most noticeable at Amazon's scale, when S3, Lambda, CloudFront and other services start adding Rust components.
