Have you ever encountered this situation?
Your server runs smoothly for a while, but suddenly it starts to lag, and seemingly simple operations cause resources to spike, almost pushing the server to its limits.
This is especially true when using scripting languages like JavaScript or Python for the server, where performance bottlenecks seem inevitable, especially for CPU-intensive tasks.
At times like this, don’t you feel a little helpless?
Today, we present a solution — Rust! A fast and efficient programming language. It’s like adding “muscle” to your Node.js or Python server, making it especially suitable for handling high-intensity computational tasks.
Below, I’ll walk you through how to gradually integrate Rust into your existing server, using simple strategies to significantly boost performance.
