I've been exploring serverless architecture with Rust lately and I must say, it's quite impressive. The ability to have no servers to manage is a game changer.

@johnsmith I agree, serverless is becoming more popular these days. I'm thinking of learning Rust for this purpose as well, what tools or libraries would you recommend?

I have experience with both Rust and serverless architectures. I can confirm that the combination of the two is a great fit. I recommend learning Rust deeply before using it for serverless applications.

What are some potential drawbacks of using Rust for serverless applications? I'd like to go into this endeavor with my eyes open.

One potential drawback is the steep learning curve of Rust. However, once you get past the initial hurdles, it's a very powerful language. This is why it's important to learn it deeply as doej mentioned.

@janedoe 'Aws Rust SDK' is a good choice and it has good documentation. I would also recommend checking out 'Rocket' for building your web applications with Rust.

What resources do you recommend for learning Rust? I'm a beginner and looking for a good starting point.

I recommend starting with 'The Rust Programming Language' book. It's available for free online and is very beginner-friendly.

I also find Rust to be a great language for serverless architectures. I recommend checking out 'Aws Rust SDK' and 'Actix Web' as starting points.
