- smt88 6y agoInteresting! May I ask what you're using it in production for?
- robjtede 6y agoWe're running v2 in production too; I work for a financial exchange so low latency is key.
- smt88 6y agoTotally makes sense. No reason Rust shouldn't take over the financial space. I know F# and other functional langs made some in-roads, but haven't heard anything about how far Rust has gotten yet.
- dunnock 6y agotickets marketplace and digital goods e-commerce. Reliability and scalability is a key for us, we have lots of business logic and rust is super handy during refactorings. Actix has mature eco-system, hence our choice, also we leverage actors model quite intensively for scalability and logic decoupling.
- smt88 6y agoI would love to learn more about what crates you use and how you manage infra. Do you blog about it by any chance?
- dunnock 6y agoSure, sorry for late response, but ticketing one is opensource: https://github.com/bigneon/bn-api https://github.com/bigneon/bn-api . Digital Assets is closed source but it's heavily using actors in addition to that and also using tokio-postgres instead of diesel.
