This thing is handling hundreds of thousands of inserts per second, and it’s even threaded. Given that I’ve been programming professionally for over a decade in Python, Perl, Ruby, C, C++, Javascript, Java, and Rust, I’ll pick Rust absolutely any time that I want something running that I won’t get called at 3 AM to fix. It probably took me 5 times as long to write it as if I did it in Go or Python, but I guarantee it’s saved me 10 times as much time I would have otherwise spent triaging, debugging, and running disaster recovery. “Configuring uWSGI for Production Deployment” (2019) by at Peter Sperl and Ben Green from Bloomberg uWSGI’s max-requests and max-worker-lifetime options are intended to reduce the chance of memory leaks affecting production workloads [@00:14:47] - Crate of the week: osmpbf A Rust library for reading the OpenStreetMap PBF file format (*.osm.pbf).
