Rust Applications to Kubernetes

Containers open opportunities for choosing the right language for applications. Kubernetes orchestrates your containers on a variety of clusters. The StackOverflow Developer Survey places Rust as the most ❤ loved language, well above the others. Jonathan shares that interest with you.

Packaging Rust application in containers and running them on Kubernetes is a very efficient solution.

Come and explore the Rust language, its ecosystem, and tools. A hands-on demonstration will run a Rust microservice on Kubernetes connected with gRPC.


About Jonathan Johnson

Jonathan Johnson is an independent software architect with a concentration on helping others unpack the riches in the cloud native and Kubernetes ecosystems.

For 30 years Jonathan has been designing useful software to move businesses forward. His career began creating laboratory instrument software and throughout the years, his focus has been moving with industry advances benefitting from Moore’s Law. He was enticed by the advent of object-oriented design and applied it to financial software. As banking moved to the internet, enterprise applications took off and Java exploded onto the scene. Since then, he has inhabited that ecosystem. After a few years, he returned to laboratory software and leveraged Java-based state machines and enterprise services to manage the terabytes of data flowing out of DNA sequencing instruments. As a hands-on architect, he applied the advantages of microservices, containers, and Kubernetes with a laboratory management platform.

Today he enjoys sharing his experience with peers. He provides perspective on ways to modernize application architectures while adhering to the fundamentals of modularity - high cohesion and low coupling.microservices, containers, and Kubernetes to their laboratory management platform.
