RDP is one of Microsoft's largest and most intimidating protocols, and IronRDP implements it from scratch in pure Rust. In this lightning demo, I'll show the same Rust protocol core driving wildly different targets: a client running entirely in the browser through WebAssembly, a native desktop client, and C# applications via FFI bindings. I'll connect to the same RDP session live: once from a browser tab (in Devolutions Server) and once from a native app (in Remote Desktop Manager), demonstrating the portability is something you can see rather than take on faith. One design decision makes this possible: keeping the protocol logic fully decoupled from I/O, so the same code runs under a blocking loop, an async runtime, or no runtime at all. IronRDP is open source and powers RDP connectivity across Devolutions' products today. If you care about WebAssembly, FFI, or building portable protocol libraries in Rust, there should be something here worth stealing.

Join this live demo of RustRover and see how it simplifies the entire Rust development workflow, from navigating large codebases to debugging, testing, and refactoring. We'll highlight recent additions such as native cargo-nextest support, Call Hierarchy, interactive declarative macro testing, and improved navigation for axum applications. You'll also discover the everyday features professional Rust developers rely on, including integrated debugging, Cargo and Git integration, and AI-assisted development.

Over the last 4-5 years, Rust job postings have grown anywhere between 35 and 350% per year, but the level of adoption is yet to keep up with the demand. For those scaling a Rust team, it is becoming increasingly more competitive (and expensive) to scale your team with strong engineers. As the leader of the largest Rust focused recruitment team in North America, Ross will take the opportunity to outline how he and his team do so week in, week out. He will provide tips, tricks, and advice of ways to grow your team and show how the most scaled, dedicated team in the industry operate.

We will share dial9, hydro, and battery packs, three new Open Source Rust projects you can use right now. dial9 is our new profiling and observability library for Rust, designed for (and used by!) many AWS services today. Hydro is a Rust framework for correct and performant distributed systems. And battery packs are how you add them to your application!
Russell Cohen joined AWS to create the AWS SDK for Rust. Today he leads broader Rust adoption efforts across the company. currently focusing on the dial9 telemetry platform.
Delta 101 introduces Delta, Zed’s new multiplayer environment for coding with agents and reviewing what they build. Joseph will tour Delta’s novel offerings: document-like conversations that are fully keyboard navigable, comments attached directly to conversation and code, and real-time synchronization of both among teammates. Come hang out and see what we’ve been working on over the last year!
Joseph Lyons began his relationship with Zed as an enthusiastic early tester in 2021 before joining the team a year later. Today, he wears a variety of hats at Zed, including creating educational content for the Zed blog, contributing to engineering and community support, and managing... Read More →
Performance regressions in Rust are usually discovered in production or during a release, long after the change that caused them. This demo shows how to catch them on the pull request instead, and let an agent fix them. We run CodSpeed's optimization agent on a real open-source Rust codebase. Each proposed change is validated with deterministic benchmarks in CI, so every speedup comes with proof. In 10 minutes, attendees see the full loop: catch a regression, generate a fix, merge it.
Arthur Pastel is the co-founder and CEO of CodSpeed. CodSpeed is the software performance platform that autonomously suggests optimizations and catches performance regressions before they land. Teams like Mozilla, Cloudflare, and Vercel rely on it.
In this demo, one will see how they can run their software under a variety of conditions, and report any unintended behavior. Antithesis will create simulated environments that mirror production, and allow truly unique debugging and system testing.
Craig, a native New Yorker, has been with Antithesis for 3+ years. He’s helped guide strategic customers to define, adopt, and realize value from Autonomous Testing.
iroh is an open source Rust library that brings peer-to-peer connectivity to native applications. It lets developers seamlessly switch between zero-trust connections over Bluetooth, LAN, Tor, IPv4, IPv6, and relays without deep networking expertise. Built for performance and portability, iroh is already used in production for payments, collaboration, and distributed AI. Come learn more about iroh and watch a demo of p2p in action.

Temporal’s Rust SDK normally powers durable applications on servers—not conference badges. We got it running on a mass-produced ESP32-S3 wearable with 16 MB of flash, 8 MB of PSRAM, four buttons, and an 8×8 LED matrix. In five minutes, I’ll show how we squeezed the Temporal Rust SDK into that environment, connected physical input to a durable Workflow, and turned Workflow state into blinking hardware. It’s a story about Rust on constrained devices, the assumptions hidden inside server-side libraries, and what happens when “durable execution” has to fit around a battery.
