PgDog is a Rust-based PostgreSQL proxy. They discovered Protobuf serialization was the real bottleneck in SQL query parsing — not the Postgres parser itself. By replacing Protobuf with direct C-to-Rust FFI bindings, they achieved 5-10x faster parsing.

Why does s.clear() cause a mutable borrow error? This article uses a ’library book’ analogy to help you thoroughly understand Rust’s borrowing rules and lifetime conflicts.

Brave 1.85 rewrites its ad-blocking engine using Rust and FlatBuffers, reducing memory usage from 60MB to 15MB. Here’s how they did it.

Learn how to use Rust’s Into Trait with Option to let functions accept both raw values and Option types, eliminating tedious Some() wrapping.

Rust 1.93 is out with all musl targets upgraded to 1.2.5, #[cfg] conditional compilation in assembly, global allocators can now use TLS, and zero-copy APIs stabilized.

rustc-codegen-gcc is now officially part of rustup nightly components. Linux users can now experience GCC-compiled Rust code with a single command. No more manual compilation, no more environment setup hassles—it’s like giving Rust a new engine.

VectorWare team made Rust’s std library work on GPUs. You can now use println!, read files, and get system time inside GPU kernels. Here’s how they pulled it off.

From 8,347 lines to 1,243 lines — the rebirth of a cryptography library

It compiles. It runs. It even passes stress tests… until production catches fire. Let’s talk about that classic async Rust pitfall everyone hits.

Discover the Rust design patterns senior engineers swear by: Newtype pattern prevents invalid states, ownership design reflects system boundaries, enum error handling makes failures predictable. Master these Rust best practices to build rock-solid backend code and say goodbye to midnight incidents.
