Look inside
Svalbard Inc.’s customers are reveling in the comfort of the global online store’s Scandinavian furniture. But, for Svalbard, the cost to scale its backend applications is less than comfortable. To ease its pain, the store has begun migrating its legacy mainframes to a more flexible, modern deployment model. Svalbard has already implemented a CLI tool that internal developers and operators can easily configure to their needs. As a Rust programmer, it’s up to you to improve this tool. You’ll track down potential performance bottlenecks with the help of flame graphs, then implement solutions to tackle them using hyper. You’ll verify the performance improvements, then create a tool for guarding against regressions with the Criterion suite. When you’re done, you’ll be comfortable evaluating and improving an asynchronous Rust application.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
book resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
prerequisites
This liveProject is for Rust programmers who are familiar with Rust syntax and its ownership system and who want to write reliable, efficient code. To begin these liveProjects you’ll need to be familiar with the following:
TOOLS- intermediate Rust
- Cargo
- CLIs
- Your favorite IDE or editor
- Basic knowledge of memory management
- Basic knowledge of how the stack and the heap work
you will learn
In this liveProject, you’ll learn to evaluate and improve an asynchronous Rust application using tools in Rust's rich ecosystem.
- Approach the same problem from multiple angles to ensure no false assumptions are made
- Measure the performance of Rust applications
- Analyze the runtime behavior of Rust applications
- Use statistical benchmarking to ensure your proposed changes have the desired effect and that future changes do not introduce performance regressions
features
