Data-Intensive Systems in Rust: Safety, Speed, Concurrency

Join us for an engaging session where we'll explore why Rust is quickly becoming the language of choice for modern, data-intensive applications. Discover how Rust's memory safety, predictable performance, and efficient concurrency make it ideal for building everything from data analytics engines to scalable backend systems. Through practical examples and real-world insights, you’ll learn how Rust empowers developers to solve complex problems and unlock new potential, whether you’re new to Rust or an experienced developer. Who should attend: Rust-curious developers, backend/data engineers, and anyone building high-throughput or low-latency systems. New to Rust or already shipping it - come away with patterns you can use immediately. **Agenda** 13:00 - Intros & welcome, *Caroline Morton, Lizzie Holmes* 13:05 - **Data-Intensive Systems in Rust,** *Jelena Jankovic* 13:40 - Q&A **FAQs** **Are there any House Rules?** At SurrealDB, we are committed to providing live and online events that are safe and enjoyable for all attending.
