Overview

The Rust London User Group is happy to announce our second takeover event of 2021. These meetups will serve as a showcase for a particular dev team or company building with Rust.

Rust London will be giving 4 developers from the Red Badger team the floor to share what they are currently building with Rust and what they aspire to do with the language in the future.

Cynic: rusty graphql

Graeme Couper shares the story of how he came to write a new Rust GraphQL client library, the evolution of it’s API, and how it’s being used in a national chicken restaurant chain.



Wasmcloud, a next-gen platform in Rust and WASM

Building and managing distributed systems with microservices today is fraught with complexity and hidden cost. We look at how platforms are evolving, wasmcloud as a next generation platform, and the part that Rust and Webassembly have to play in blurring the distinction between the cloud and the edge. We’ll get our hands dirty and build a wasmcloud cluster on a couple of Raspberry Pi machines, and walk through running some example workloads written in Rust.

Monitoring Temperature (with Too Many Bluetooth Thermometers)
