🚀 What if old ideas still had something to teach us? At #RustLab2026, Marcel Koch revisits CGI and shows how Rust can turn a decades-old technology into a lightweight, practical alternative for modern web backends. Sometimes the future looks surprisingly familiar. rustlab.it/talks/back-t...
RustLab Conference
@rustlab.it
The international conference about Rust in Italy. (Florence, 2nd-4th November, 2025)
Planning your trip to Bologna? Hotel bookings for RustLab 2026 are now open! We’ve secured a dedicated room allotment for conference attendees at the Savoia Regency and Savoia Hotel Country House. Use the links and booking code in the thread below to reserve your stay.
👻 There are ghosts in your heap. At #RustLab2026, Arya Dradjica dives into the dark side of concurrent programming: lock-free data structures, memory management, and the strange bugs that appear when performance comes first. Equal parts fascinating and terrifying. rustlab.it/talks/talkin...
🦀 Tired of Arc<Mutex<T>> everywhere? At #RustLab2026, Rafael Bachmann shows how Tokio's actors, channels, and async primitives can help you build applications that are easier to test, maintain, and reason about. Beyond async. Beyond locks. rustlab.it/talks/more-a...
🌐 What if your server could choose how it looks on the network? At #RustLab2026, Joe Dye explores TCP/IP fingerprint spoofing, user-space networking, and how Rust powers high-performance systems serving thousands of requests per second. Networking, but with a twist. rustlab.it/talks/tcpip-...
🎵 Raw audio. FFTs. DSP pipelines. At #RustLab2026, Bernice Waweru shows how to build high-performance audio processing pipelines in Rust, from samples to frequency-domain analysis. No unnecessary allocations. Just signal processing. rustlab.it/talks/writin...
🦀 Sometimes scaling isn't about adding more servers. It's about changing the architecture. At #RustLab2026, Dylan Martin shares the story of rewriting a feature flag platform handling hundreds of thousands of requests per minute, moving from Django to Rust to overcome scaling limits
⌨️ Keyboards, game controllers, stream decks... what if you could build your own? At #RustLab2026, Frank Lyaruu will show how Rust makes it surprisingly accessible to create custom HID devices, from embedded fundamentals to real-world hardware projects.
🤖 Robotics is hard. Integrating teams and software stacks is often even harder. At #RustLab2026, Guillaume Binet will introduce Copper, a Rust-based robotics runtime designed to make complex systems safer, more reliable, and easier to build.
🦀 What happens when memory safety moves from software into hardware? At #RustLab2026, Edoardo Marangoni explores the challenges of bringing Rust to a CHERI platform, where pointers behave very differently from what we're used to.
🦀 AI in Rust is growing fast—but which framework should you choose? At #RustLab2026, Ludwig Weinzierl compares Burn and Candle, two of the most prominent machine learning frameworks in the Rust ecosystem, and explores the trade-offs behind their different approaches.
🦀 Every Rust developer trusts `match`. But how does exhaustiveness checking actually work? At #RustLab2026, Iván Ovejero takes us inside the compiler, exploring the algorithms and design decisions behind one of Rust's most beloved guarantees.
🦀 Is `cargo build` the end of the story? At #RustLab2026, Amos Wenger explores what comes next: hermetic builds, remote execution, perfect caching, and a new approach to Rust build systems inspired by the power of tools like Buck2.
🦀 From a simple object to a federated architecture. At #RustLab2026, Emilio Junior Francischetti and Angelo Rendina will guide participants through a hands-on journey from software fundamentals to advanced architectural patterns like Federation and the Strangler Pattern.
🦀 New workshop for #RustLab2026 “Hardening the Wire: Building Type-Safe Security Protocols” Build a secure communication protocol in Rust and learn how to use the type system to enforce security guarantees at compile time. With Lora Vega Vega. rustlab.it/talks/harden...
🦀 New workshop for #RustLab2026 “Make rusty AI: traditional live-coding” Build AI applications in Rust live with Jorge D. Ortiz Fuentes - from LLMs and RAGs to agents and chatbot REPLs using open-source libraries. Code along, ask questions, and explore AI in Rust hands-on. rustlab.it/talks/make-r...
📣 Big news for #RustLab2026! This year the conference is moving to a brand new location: the beautiful city of Bologna 🇮🇹 ❤️ A new city, a new venue, and the same amazing community spirit we love every year.
🤖 Announcing a brand new workshop for #RustLab2026 “Accurate Robot Simulations with Bevy and WASM” Build and test robot control algorithms in Rust — fast, flexible, and without real hardware. With Massimiliano and Michele Mantione.
