Rust at the Edge

You’re in an all-out war for attention from your users and customers. Creating meaningful, personalised experiences is critical to give your website or app the best chance to capture the interest of visitors. However - optimising machine learning models and scaling your infrastructure to support this is difficult and can be very costly.

What if we reimagined content recommendation using the web technology we have available today? In this talk, we will explore the power of moving logic to the edge, demonstrating a unique implementation of content recommendation which would not be possible without the performance and reliability guarantees of Rust.

Orchestration in a world of edge computing and cloud CI

In 2021, the range of continuous integration tooling freely available is vast. With GitHub Actions now making automation available to anyone with a source code repository, it’s easier than ever to build an enterprise-style infrastructure as code (IaC) workflow. We’re going to explore some of the technologies and techniques that you can use to automate the management of your application environments and deploy an application to our Fastly's platform as an example.
