🦀 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.

Bild

🦀 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.
