Building the Next Cloud Compute Primitive in Rust

Explore the evolution of web hosting and cloud computing abstractions in this 51-minute conference talk from RustLab. Dive into the shift from bare metal to sandboxed JavaScript or WebAssembly isolates, driven by the need for maximum performance at the lowest cost. Examine why the latest generation of sandboxed isolates are written in Rust, investigating packing density, tenant isolation, and the Linux kernel. Learn about the development of one of the most starred Rust projects on GitHub while gaining insights into the future of cloud compute primitives. Discover how these technological advancements relate to the changing landscape of web hosting and cloud infrastructure.
