Kraken's migration to Rust microservices, with Rob Ede

Listen Later

Rob Ede, lead maintainer of Actix Web, explains to Marco Otte-Witte how (and why) Kraken chose to migrate their microservices to Rust.

They also discuss Rust’s web development ecosystem at large, with a particular focus on Actix Web: Rob shares his view on how improvements in the language and framework space will eventually lead to a future where web development in Rust can be as approachable as web development in Javascript.
