YouTube·2yZap (Zig) vs Actix (Rust): Performance Benchmark in Kubernetes #207
This post benchmarks the performance of Rust's Actix and Zig's Zap frameworks when deployed in Kubernetes. The focus is on CPU and memory usage, client latency, and request handling efficiency. The comparison reveals that Rust uses fewer resources and handles more requests before failing. Detailed graphs illustrate the performance metrics, highlighting significant differences in CPU and memory consumption.
YouTube·2yActix (Rust) vs Zap (Zig) vs Stdlib (Zig): Performance Benchmark in Kubernetes #208
The post shares updated performance benchmark results comparing the Actix HTTP framework for Rust with the Zap framework and a pure implementation in Zig. Using a production-ready EKS cluster, the tests measure CPU and memory usage, latency, and request handling capacity under heavy load. The results show Rust leading in request handling at 160,000 requests per second, followed by Zap at 127,000, and the pure Zig implementation showing competitive performance but ultimately lagging at higher loads.
P99 Conf·2yRust vs. Zig – and C++ and Mojo – for Systems Programming
At P99 CONF, a debate between Jarred Sumner, Pekka Enberg, and Glauber Costa on ThePrimeagen's Twitch stream explored the benefits and drawbacks of Rust and Zig for systems programming. Key points included Rust's memory safety and robust ecosystem, and Zig's low-level control and better interoperability with C. They also touched on Mojo's potential, particularly for machine learning, and agreed that both Rust and Zig offer significant advantages over older versions of C++.
