From startups to tech giants, we explore the diverse landscape of organizations leveraging Rust's unique features to create safer, faster, and more scalable systems. Our guests share their experiences, challenges, and triumphs in adopting Rust for production environments. Listen in as we discuss topics such as concurrent programming, memory safety, performance optimization, and how Rust's ownership model contributes to building robust software systems. Whether you're a seasoned Rust developer, an infrastructure engineer, or a tech leader considering Rust for your next project, "Rust in Production" offers valuable insights and practical knowledge. Release Schedule "Rust in Production" releases new episodes every other Thursday at 4 PM UTC. Our podcast is structured into seasons, each featuring a diverse range of companies and experts in the Rust ecosystem. Recent episodes have included: - Season 2: Interviews with representatives from System76, Fusion Engineering, OxidOS, Matic, Thunderbird, AMP, and curl. - Season 1: Conversations with leaders from Sentry, Tweede Golf, Arroyo, Apollo, PubNub, and InfluxData. What You'll Learn - Real-world case studies of Rust implementation in production environments - Insights into how companies overcome technical challenges using Rust - Best practices for adopting Rust in various infrastructure contexts - The impact of Rust on software reliability, efficiency, and scalability - Future trends in systems programming and infrastructure development Join us as we uncover the latest trends in Rust development, explore best practices for using Rust in production, and examine how this language is addressing some of the most pressing issues in modern software engineering.

You know the drill by now. It's time for another recap!Sit back, get a warm beverage and look back at the highlights of Season 3 with us.We've been at this for a while now (three seasons, one year, and 24 episodes to be exact). We had guests from a wide range of industries: from automotive to CAD software, and from developer tooling to systems programming.Our focus this time around was on the technical details of Rust in production, especially integration of Rust into existing codebases and ecosystem deep dives. Thanks to everyone who participated in the survey last season, which helped us dial in our content. Let us know if we hit the mark or missed it!For the future, we hope to present an even more diverse set of guests and topics. If you have any suggestions, please reach out!We'll be back in April. In the meantime, check out our dedicated learn page for additional content about Rust adoption.

curl with Daniel Stenberg
Rust in Production
05/02/24 • 73 min
In the season premier we talk to none other than Daniel Stenberg! We focus on integrating Rust modules in curl, their benefits, ways in which Rust and Rust crates helped improve curl, but also how curl helped those crates, and where curl is used in the official Rust toolchain. Along the way we also learn about the early history of curl and Rust, which section of your car’s owner’s-manual you should “re”-read, some weird HTTP edge-cases, and Daniel’s experience in open-source maintainership.
About curl
Curl started as a simple way to download currency conversion rates from the internet and evolved into a general data transfer library and cli tool with support for not only HTTP, but also FTP, IMAP, MQTT, and many more. It rivals with SQLite for the #1 spot on the most deployed software list, leaving Java far behind.
About Daniel Stenberg
Daniel Stenberg has been the lead developer of curl for more than 25 years, and is an avid speaker and famous open source personality. Having worked at Mozilla around the time Rust was created, he now works for WolfSSL.Proudly Supported by CodeCrafters

Brave with Anton Lazarev
Rust in Production
01/09/25 • 56 min
Web browsers today face increasing demands for both performance and privacy. At Brave, they're tackling both challenges head-on with their Rust-based ad-blocking engine. This isn't just about blocking ads – it's about doing so with minimal performance impact while maintaining compatibility with existing filter lists and adapting to evolving web technologies.
Today we're joined by Anton Lazarev, Senior Software Engineer at Brave, to discuss how they're using Rust to build a high-performance ad-blocker, the challenges of working within browser constraints, and how they're pushing the boundaries of what's possible in modern web privacy.About BraveBrave is a privacy-focused web browser that blocks ads and trackers by default. It's built on top of Chromium, with additional privacy features like the ability to earn cryptocurrency by viewing privacy-respecting ads. Brave has been an early adopter of Rust, using it to build their ad-blocking engine and other core features.
About Anton LazarevAnton Lazarev is a Senior Software Engineer at Brave, where he works on the browser's core privacy features. In his free time, Anton enjoys working on like his fully open-source and Rust-based, customizable split keyboard.

Version control is a critical part of any modern software project and git is the most popular tool for the job. But it can be complex and confusing, especially for beginners.The team behind GitButler believes there is a better way.
They are building a modern Git client that streamlines the process of managing branches, backing up your work, and more. We hear from co-founders Scott Chacon and Kiril Videlov about how they're making Git easier for everyone -- all without sacrificing the power and flexibility that makes Git so popular in the first place.About GitButlerGit Branching, Refined — that's the promise of GitButler.

Fusion Engineering with Jakub Valtar
Rust in Production
07/11/24 • 55 min
Rust can run everywhere, and by everywhere, we don't just mean on all operating systems, but also in all kinds of harsh environments: from the depths of the ocean to the vastness of space. Today we talk to a company that is using Rust to conquer the air. Fusion Engineering is building drone control systems for the next generation of drones.
Jakub Valtar walks us through how Fusion Engineering came to use Rust as the foundation of their company. He explains why Rust is the safest choice for building drone control systems and what it takes to get into drone development.About Fusion EngineeringFusion Engineering identified a critical gap in the industry: while drone hardware has advanced rapidly, software development has lagged behind.Their approach is ambitious - developing drone control systems from the ground up, with a strong focus on safety. It's about making drones fly reliably in complex environments.Their flight controller is designed to meet the most stringent EU regulations, potentially allowing drones to operate safely in urban areas and withstand harsh conditions offshore.About Jakub ValtarJakub Valtar is a game engine developer turned drone software engineer. He feels comfortable in performance-critical environments and loves the intersection between art and technology. He joined Fusion Engineering to work on control systems for the next generation of drones.
