You know the drill by now. It's time for another recap!
Sit back, get a warm beverage and look back at the highlights of Season 3 with us.
We've been at this for a while now (three seasons, one year, and 24 episodes to be exact). We had guests from a wide range of industries: from automotive to CAD software, and from developer tooling to systems programming.
Our focus this time around was on the technical details of Rust in production, especially integration of Rust into existing codebases and ecosystem deep dives. Thanks to everyone who participated in the survey last season, which helped us dial in our content. Let us know if we hit the mark or missed it!
For the future, we hope to present an even more diverse set of guests and topics. If you have any suggestions, please reach out!
We'll be back in April. In the meantime, check out our dedicated learn page for additional content about Rust adoption.

While we try not to get too sentimental, celebrating one year of 'Rust in Production' alongside the holiday season feels like a perfect occasion to reflect. For this special episode of the podcast, we've gathered heartfelt messages from our guests to the Rust community.

There are two common themes that run through these messages:

• The importance of writing simple, approachable Rust code to help flatten the learning curve for newcomers
• Their gratitude for the vibrant ecosystem and the wealth of available crates

As we look ahead to the Rust 2024 edition, we're excited about what's to come. Thank you for being part of this journey with us, and here's to a great start to 2025! May the new year bring us all faster compile times, gentler learning curves, and, if we get lucky, let-chains on stable Rust.

Think about this: software engineers have modern code editors, parallel processing, continuous integration, and countless tools that make their work efficient. But hardware engineers? They're often working with single-threaded tools, limited automation, and workflows that haven't fundamentally changed in decades. Zoo is building the infrastructure to change that, creating a modern set of tools and APIs that will allow companies and engineers to build better hardware design tools and accelerate the development of physical products.

Today we're joined by Jessie Frazelle, CEO of Zoo (formerly KittyCAD), to talk about migrating core parts of Zoo's infrastructure to Rust, boring infrastructure, how Rust can help bridge the gap between software and hardware development, and how Zoo is building the foundation for the next generation of hardware development tools.
About Zoo
While software engineering has evolved with powerful tools and workflows, hardware design is still stuck 'the dark ages.' Zoo's mission is to make building hardware products as seamless as building software.Zoo is working on everything from graphics engines to automated workflows for mechanical engineers, and they're even developing their own file format in collaboration with industry leaders. Their goal is to become the foundation that powers the next generation of hardware design tools, making it possible for individuals and small teams to build innovative solutions that were previously only possible within major companies.
About Jessie Frazelle
Jessie Frazelle is the CEO of Zoo and a former software engineer at Microsoft, Docker, and Google. She's a contributor to many well-known open-source projects and has a background in security, containers, and cloud computing.

Version control is a critical part of any modern software project and git is the most popular tool for the job. But it can be complex and confusing, especially for beginners.
The team behind GitButler believes there is a better way.

They are building a modern Git client that streamlines the process of managing branches, backing up your work, and more. We hear from co-founders Scott Chacon and Kiril Videlov about how they're making Git easier for everyone -- all without sacrificing the power and flexibility that makes Git so popular in the first place.
About GitButler
Git Branching, Refined — that's the promise of GitButler. GitButler is a Git client that helps you manage your Git branches more effectively. GitButler records and backups up your work, helps with your code and much more. Their focus is everything after writing code in your editor and before sharing it on GitHub. The client is written in Rust, by the way.
About Scott Chacon
Scott Chacon is a co-founder of GitButler. Previously, he was a co-founder at GitHub. Scott is the author of the famous Pro Git book (which taught me Git, thank you very much) and an investor in a number of companies through his incubator, SCNE. He somehow also found the time to get a B2 in German.
About Kiril Videlov
Kiril Videlov is a co-founder and CTO of GitButler. He has a background in software engineering, especially in the fields of fintech and code analysis. He is a YC alum and has a Master's degree in Computer Science.

What's even cooler than writing your own text editor or your own operating system? Building your own hardware from scratch with all the software written in Rust -- including firmware, the scheduler, and the hypervisor. Oxide Computer Company is one of the most admired companies in the Rust community. They are building "servers as they should be" with a focus on security and performance to serve the needs of modern on-premise data centers.

In this episode, I talk to Steve Klabnik, a software engineer at Oxide and renowned Rustacean, about the advantages of building hardware and software in tandem, the benefits of using Rust for systems programming, and the state of the Rust ecosystem.
About Oxide Computer Company
Founded by industry giants Bryan Cantrill, Jessie Frazelle, and Steve Tuck, Oxide Computer Company is a beloved name in the Rust community. They took on the daunting task of rethinking how servers are built -- starting all the way from the hardware and boot process (and no, there is no BIOS). Their 'On The Metal' podcast is a treasure trove of systems programming stories and proudly served as a role model for 'Rust in Production.'

About Steve Klabnik

In the Rust community, Steve does not need any introduction. He is a prolific writer, speaker, and software engineer who has contributed to the Rust ecosystem in many ways -- including writing the first version of the official Rust book. If you sent a tweet about Rust in the early days, chances are Steve was the one who replied. Previously, he worked at Mozilla and was a member of the Rust and Ruby core teams.

Picture this: Your organization's data infrastructure resembles a busy kitchen with too many cooks. You're juggling Kafka for messaging, Flink for processing, Spark for analytics, Airflow for orchestration, and various Lambda functions scattered about. Each tool excellent at its job, but together they've created a complex feast of integration challenges. Your data teams are spending more time managing tools than extracting value from data.
InfinyOn reimagines this chaos with a radically simple approach: a unified system for data streaming that runs everywhere. Unlike traditional solutions that struggle at the edge, InfinyOn gracefully handles data streams from IoT devices to cloud servers. And instead of cobbling together different tools, developers can build complete data pipelines using their preferred languages - be it Rust, Python, or SQL - with built-in state management.At the heart of InfinyOn is Fluvio, a Rust-based data streaming platform that's fast, reliable, and easy to use.
About InfinyOn
Data pipelines are often slow, unreliable, and complex. InfinyOn, the creators of Fluvio, aims to fix this. Built in Rust, Fluvio offers fast, reliable data streaming. It lets you build event-driven pipelines quickly, running as a single 37 MB binary. With features like SmartModules, it handles various data types efficiently. Designed for developers, it offers a clean API and intuitive CLI. Streamline your data infrastructure at infinyon.com/rustinprod.
