Rust India Conference 2026 🦀

Dates: Workshops on 17 April | Conference on 18 April
Location: Bengaluru, India
Theme: Everything Rust

Rust is no longer experimental. It’s what serious systems are being written in.


About the Conference

The Rust India Conference 2026 is where engineers come to talk about what it actually takes to ship Rust in production.

We’re past the curiosity phase. Teams are adopting Rust because they have to - control latency, reduce infra costs, and eliminate entire classes of bugs.

This conference focuses on Rust under real constraints:

  • Memory constrained
  • High-throughput
  • Integration with legacy systems
  • Production scenarios

If you’re building systems that can’t afford to crash, leak, or stall — this is your ecosystem.


Highlights

The schedule is curated for technical depth with a focus on systems and engineering -- no surface-level talks.

  • Systems & Infrastructure: Networking, storage, and performance-critical services
  • Backend at scale: High-throughput APIs, async systems, and concurrency models
  • Data & ML pipelines: Processing massive volumes with tight resource budgets
  • Production war stories: Borrow-checker battles, rewrites, and what broke in prod

Hear from teams at invideo, e6data, Aftershoot, LaserData, Juspay, and pre6 who are already running Rust in production.


Workshops on 17 April 2026

Hands-on, code-first sessions designed to help you build and ship with Rust, not just learn syntax.

    Shipping Portable Edge ML Inference in Rust

    Deploying ML models to edge devices often means integrating multiple platform-specific runtimes such as CoreML, OpenVINO, DirectML, and lightweight mobile engines. This talk explores how Rust can serve as a portable systems layer for building and shipping cross-platform ML inference while keeping performance overhead low. more

    A Paradigm Shift in Database Engineering - Datafusion

    The Database Landscape: Historically databases were monolithic and all the components of the database: the parser, optimizer, intermediate representation, file formats and the execution engine were made from scratch by the core team making the database. Examples of this model include PostgreSQL, SQLite and DuckDB. With the need for more specialized OLAP databases in specialized domains such as ti… more

    Building Apache Iggy: How Rust Powers Ultra-Low Tail Latencies with io_uring

    Apache Iggy is a next-generation message streaming engine built entirely in Rust, delivering stable sub-millisecond P99 latencies with high throughput on a single node. In this talk we’ll show what it takes to get there and how Rust’s ownership model shaped every architectural choice. more

    Architecting a Bare-Metal Embedded OS for the Raspberry Pi 5

    Session Description Writing software for bare-metal systems traditionally relies on C/C++, trusting the programmer to manually manage memory, hardware state, and concurrency. Rust provides the tools to enforce these constraints at compile time, but applying Rust to undocumented, bare silicon requires a deep understanding of both the compiler’s behavior and the processor’s physical architecture. more

    Cancelling your future in tokio: cancellation in async rust

    Summary Async rust is performant, but there are pitfalls. The ideas behind async rust are quite simple, but it can lead to hard-to-debug issues. more

    Type-Driven API Design in Rust: Lessons from Building Feluda

    Rust’s type system is often discussed in the context of memory safety, but one of its most practical strengths is API design. In this talk, I’ll show how Rust’s type system can help us design APIs that are easier to use correctly, harder to misuse, and clearer about what is and is not valid. more

    Fast Isn’t Enough: Why Latency Still Breaks Streaming Systems

    In modern streaming systems, we tend to measure success in throughput and scale. Systems are faster than ever, but in real-world environments they still fail in ways that are hard to predict. more

    Rust's big moment (if...we don't screw up) - Niko Matsakis

    Submitted on behalf of Niko Matsakis Rust’s focus on reliability, efficiency, and productivity makes it a great fit for the problems people are trying to tackle today, whether that’s large-scale networked applications or resource-aware embedded development. People consistently say they come to Rust for help with their hardest problems, but they wind up wanting to use it everywhere. That’s what we… more

    A Universal Grammar for Payments — How Rust’s Trait System, Types, and Macros Turned Fragmented Payment APIs into a Deterministic Language

    Every payment processor speaks its own dialect — Stripe expects nested JSON with idempotency keys, Razorpay wants base64-encoded auth and a PayU might have an entirely different vocabulary. Multiply that by 200+ payment methods, hundreds of countries, varying regulations, and you get a combinatorial nightmare where engineering teams spend more time wrestling payloads than optimising payment succe… more
