Reading from Streams and Writing to Sinks

by Benjamin Sparks Robust data streaming is a complex task, requiring low runtime overhead, safe buffer management, and robust error handling. To address these challenges, this talk showcases managing data streams in Rust, by using the well-known Tokio libraries to asynchronously read from and write to I/O streams and sinks. Specifically, an overview of the types and traits Tokio leverages to efficiently decode bytes and encode structured data in a type-safe manner is presented. The talk concludes with practical demonstrations of codecs for two different protocols. --- Nix Your Bugs & Rust Your Engines is a new meetup for people in the Rhein-Neckar region that are interested in Rust (the programming language), Nix (the package manager), or NixOS (the Linux distribution). The meetup begins with talks related to Rust and/or NixOS, and ends with casual networking and exchange between the meetup participants. This time, it takes place at the Mafinex in Mannheim (3rd floor in unit C, 3.
