Let’s talk about Rust: Rust and AWS Serverless with Luciano

Luciano Mammino, Senior Architect and author of “Node.js Design Patterns,” joins Solomon Eseme, Founder and CTO of Masteringbackend and author of “Rust Essentials”, to discuss the powerful combination of Rust and serverless computing. 🦀In this podcast, Luciano shares his experience with Rust and AWS Lambda and how they interact. He provides practical examples of building Rust applications and deploying them to AWS Lambda.We covered:🧠 Why Rust’s performance and type system make it surprisingly good for backend development💸 How faster cold starts and smaller binaries can mean lower cloud bills📉 The real tradeoffs (like a steeper learning curve and smaller community)🔧 Best practices for shipping Rust Lambdas — including Infrastructure as Code and using tools like cargo lambda👨‍💻 Plus, a live coding session where I scaffold, test, and deploy a real Lambda with Rust — all in minutes! * Become A Rust Backend Engineer: https://masteringbackend.com/courses/...

Building better softwares using internal tools

Another Episode of the GBE Podcast on "Building better software using internal tools" This episode is sponsored by Alerty.ai [https://alerty.ai?ref=gbe_podcast?utm_source=gbe_podcast] In this episode, I host Johnny Dallas, a backend software engineer with over 8+ years of experience, to discuss the following concepts. - How far can a solo dev scale? - What is DevOps, and why do we need it? - Why does internal tooling matter? - Why does CI/CD matter? Why is deployment so complicated? - What is monitoring, what is observability? Why are they important? - How do you monitor a web app? - How does observability scale with infrastructure complexity? - Building better software - What’s relevant to the backend engineer (managing 50 servers) - JavaScript monitoring If you're interested in this kind of discussion.
