Detailed Rust migration case study with performance insights.
Summary
Ruth Linehan of Momento details how migrating high-performance caching services from Kotlin to Rust disproved assumptions that Rust slows development, citing the borrow checker's ergonomics and compile-time safety that shorten feedback loops. Using tools like Criterion and flamegraphs, Momento achieved 60,000 transactions/second with 3ms latency at the 99.9th percentile, and even moved complex workflow servers to Rust for clearer expression of complexity.
