I am completely new to rust.

I have a simple nodejs server which has decent performance but high memory usage ~ 60mb with a single request, and i expect to handle 100 - 150 req/sec, which inturn utilizes more resource, seeking better server with high concurrency and performance. Should i switch to rust? What should i expect to get with the fact that there are many shinny packages i have to leave from nodejs ecosystem.
