There are some uses of Rust in some companies but nothing really significant or ground breaking yet, and not to an extent as important as golang and Swift. Rust can not compare with C/C++ as most of the important crates in Rust still depend on underlying C/C++ library and will continue in foreseeable future, meaning those libraries still needs to be maintained in C/C++.
I do not have access to open source code of fargate or AWS Lambda written in Rust to see the extent of it’s use.
Having seen kubernetes (k8s) in golang and many of the CNCF softwares using golang, Rust is still a fringe language and will need another 10-15 years to reach parity.
Rust has yet to prove anything critical for internet or general computing infrastructure. Still waiting when Mozilla browsers C++ code will be replaced by Rust, given it’s the reason it was created.
