Build Your First Rust AWS Lambda Function. High Performance Serverless.
Hi, I'm James. Welcome to a brand new series on building serverless applications on AWS with Rust.
Rust is a systems programming language known for its performance, reliability, and efficient resource management. These features make it an ideal choice for building serverless applications on AWS.
In this tutorial, we will cover the basic structure of Rust Lambda functions and show you how to deploy them using AWS SAM. With Rust and AWS SAM, you can achieve lightning-fast response times and reduce the risk of downtime in your applications.
I'm talking 90ms cold starts with 128mb of memory.
