I just read Cloudflare's blog about rewriting their core proxy in Rust and wow, the results are impressive:
• 25% performance boost overall
• Half the CPU, way less memory
• No more memory bugs - crashes now = hardware fails
• Ships features in 48hrs vs weeks (!)
• 100+ devs, 130+ modules, zero drama
• 10ms faster median response time
This is what Rust at Internet scale looks like. It just works.
