Spent almost half of the day today doing a major #rustlang refactoring for @monitorbolt.bsky.social!

Should make it more scalable for the long term!

#buildinpublic

Agreed! I like how Rust encourages you to write better code and documentation too!

The more you learn, the more you realize that you still have much to learn.

Such is life,

And such is #rustlang

Definitely try this one out!

Especially if you're coming from the React ecosystem and also picking up #rustlang!

:D

1st thing I noticed - too much scaffolding!

It's just my personal preference but I prefer to be explicitly selective about what (packages) I put into my project ๐Ÿ˜‚

Wish me luck fellow rustaceans LOL

You have got to admit that PHP is awesome for still being used by many to this day.

I wish that for #rustlang too.

We shall see ๐Ÿ˜‚

You're bullish on Bitcoin.

I'm bullish on #rustlang.

We're not the same

I know that the progress behind @monitorbolt.bsky.social isn't ideal.

I get to work on it maybe 30mins - 1 hour daily after work & after taking care of my baby.

But a small #rustlang progress daily will hopefully bring us closer to e day I can launch/get it into people's hands.

Fingers crossed ๐Ÿคž

Not very happy with myself today...

Wasn't productive much and couldn't resolve 1 of the issues at work that has been bugging me :D

Good point!

I did it with the assumption and calculation that I'm not on the free tier anymore ๐Ÿ˜‚

So instead of spending $10/mth on AWS Elasticache, I built a #rustlang lambda function that runs every second (only takes 200ms) for checking expired tokens.

1) It costs almost nothing
2) I gained knowledge/experience doing it
3) Saved $120 USD/year

I call it a win for @monitorbolt.bsky.social ๐Ÿ˜

I'm curious myself too ๐Ÿ˜‚

To be fair, sqlx has a better developer experience though

Was setting up a new lambda function for @monitorbolt.bsky.social , and using 2 different #rustlang crates (namely sqlx and tokio-postgres).

While they are both blazingly fast for a simple query, tokio-postgres spent only around 100ms while sqlx took 2x the amount of time (200ms +)!

I wonder why ๐Ÿค”

If you didn't know, AWS's RDS Data API/SDK only works if you have a cluster.

If you only need a single DB instance (which saves you like 9x the costs compared to a cluster), you'll have to try your luck with another option.

Luckily for #rustlang, you can use crates such as tokio-postgres or sqlx!
