Speed, Safety, Sustainability. Pick 3 with Rust & Serverless
summary
Builds a loyalty‑points service that ingests Kafka order events and exposes a web API, implemented in Rust, deployed to ECS/Fargate and then migrated to AWS Lambda with Neon Postgres and optional Momento cache. Claim: Rust + serverless delivers speed, safety and lower resource usage. Measured averages: average 300 ms message processing, HTTP average 111 ms, maximums under a second; cold starts are rare — 3 cold starts out of 815 invocations. Result: equivalent or faster latency with far lower idle cost.
