Reading from Streams and Writing to Sinks

by Benjamin Sparks Robust data streaming is a complex task, requiring low runtime overhead, safe buffer management, and robust error handling. To address these challenges, this talk showcases managing data streams in Rust, by using the well-known Tokio libraries to asynchronously read from and write to I/O streams and sinks. Specifically, an overview of the types and traits Tokio leverages to efficiently decode bytes and encode structured data in a type-safe manner is presented. The talk concludes with practical demonstrations of codecs for two different protocols. --- Nix Your Bugs & Rust Your Engines is a new meetup for people in the Rhein-Neckar region that are interested in Rust (the programming language), Nix (the package manager), or NixOS (the Linux distribution). The meetup begins with talks related to Rust and/or NixOS, and ends with casual networking and exchange between the meetup participants. This time, it takes place at the Mafinex in Mannheim (3rd floor in unit C, 3. OG in Bauteil C), reachable by foot in ~15 minutes from the Mannheim main station. The nearest tram station is Lindenhof Windeckstraße with a distance of 500m. The event is organized by Hackerstolz, a non-profit association from Mannheim with a focus on digital education. We are always looking for new active members, and for students, membership is free. If you are interested in organizing workshops, meetups or hackathons related to digital education and/or technology, get in touch with us at the meetup or send an email to info@hackerstolz.de. We'd love to welcome you and support you in organizing new events. If you have any questions, feel free to send us an email at nixrust@rheinneckar.events or contact us on Mastodon at @NixRust@rheinneckar.social. We also have a Matrix room: #nixrust-hd:matrix.org. All participants must adhere to our Code of Conduct.
