Rust in Production - Series Teaser

Description & Show Notes
This is Rust in Production, a podcast about companies who use Rust to shape the future of infrastructure. We follow their journey in pursuit of more reliable and efficient software as they solve some of the most challenging technical problems in the world.
I'm your host, Matthias Endler, and I'm a software engineer at corrode, a consultancy that helps companies make the most of Rust. I've been using Rust since 2015, have been a member of the Rust Cologne meetup since Rust 1.0 and ran a YouTube channel called "Hello Rust".
There are plenty of great podcasts about Rust, but I felt that there was a missing piece. I wanted to hear more about how companies who use Rust in production. What are the challenges they face? How do they overcome them? What are the benefits of using Rust? How does the company find and hire Rust developers? And what advice would they give to other companies who want to use Rust.
I sit down with decision-makers from companies that bet big on Rust and ask them in-depth questions about what they learned along the way.
New episodes air every two weeks on Thursdays at 4pm UTC. If you don't want to miss out, please subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. This helps other people find the show and supports our work.

There are a lot of awesome podcasts about Rust. We loved listening to New Rustacean (https://newrustacean.com/) and are excited about the new Rustacean Station (https://rustacean-station.org/) and RustShip (https://www.marcoieni.com/2023/08/rustship-a-new-rust-podcast/) episodes.
But we felt that there is a gap in the Rust podcast landscape: We wanted to hear more about how companies use Rust in production. So we decided to sit down and create the content we wanted to listen to. We interviewed people from companies that use Rust in production and asked them the tough questions that you want to hear answered but never get the chance to ask:
- Why did they choose Rust?
- What are the real challenges of using Rust in production?
- How did your team get up to speed with Rust?
- Did you notice any performance improvements?
These and other questions are top of mind for developers and decision makers who are considering Rust for their next project. We want to help them understand the benefits and challenges of using Rust in production before they head down that path.
And we're starting with a bang: In the first episode we will talk to Paul Dix, founder and CTO of InfluxData (https://www.influxdata.com/), about how the company rewrote the core of their time series database in Rust. Stay tuned! We will release the first episode on Thursday, December 14th and then biweekly episodes every Thursday.
