Really liking where this is going. Rust's safety features and gRPC's performance are gonna be a match made in heaven for microservices.

Totally agree, although keeping up with Rust's steep learning curve can be challenging.

While Rust is certainly interesting, I worry about its ecosystem being a bit underdeveloped compared to other languages.

Cleaner code and higher performance definitely sound appealing. Gonna give this combo a try soon.

Has anyone done an analysis comparing Rust & gRPC performance to other common tech stacks for microservices? Would be interested to know how it compares.

The gRPC ecosystem provides built-in support for monitoring and tracing, making performance analysis even easier.

There's a great article by '@tonyhb' comparing various tech stacks for microservices: <https://hackernoon.com/a-performance-comparison-of-popular-microservices-47e5b4613595>

I haven't seen direct comparisons, but in my experience, Rust & gRPC perform very well comparatively.
