Deep dives
InfluxDB switches to Rust for improved performance and reliability
InfluxDB, a popular database, recently made the switch to using Rust for its codebase. In a detailed post, the company's co-founder and CTO, Paul Dix, explained that they made the switch due to several reasons, including the absence of a garbage collector, fearless concurrency, and improved performance. Dix also mentioned the challenges they faced during the rewriting process and the lack of available tools in 2013 when they first started. However, he expressed confidence that the new Rust-based codebase will provide a solid foundation for the future.
