The Rise of Rust, As High-Performance Superhero

Last night, I was reading an article about Cloudflare’s Pingora, the proxy that connects Cloudflare to the Internet. Pingora, written in Rust, handles over 1 trillion requests per day. Previously, Cloudflare relied on Nginx which reached its limit. Interesting...A few years ago, who would have thought Nginx would face such a challenge?

 

Since scriptwriting has always been a hobby of mine, I decided to write a script imagining Rust as a superhero who rises to battle Scalator—an imaginary villain capable of sending billions of requests and bringing any system to its knees.
