High Performance Serverless with Rust

Rust paired with AWS Lambda delivers exceptional performance for serverless applications, with cold starts as low as 11 milliseconds compared to 141ms for Node.js. The presentation covers three key strategies: organizing multi-Lambda projects using Cargo workspaces for code reuse and isolation, leveraging the AWS Lambda runtime and SDK for seamless integration, and implementing infrastructure as code with tools like CDK and Cargo Lambda for automation. Performance benchmarks show Rust functions consume significantly less memory and execute faster, resulting in cost savings of up to 95% compared to other runtimes at scale.
