What You Can Build With Rust Developers

If your project has issues due to memory safety or high-performance computing, you should be looking for help from Rust Certified developers. Memory leaks in some systems can lead to millions of dollars in losses, Garbage Collection (GC) interruptions can break Service Level Agreements (SLA), and a buffer overflow can cause a Common Vulnerability and Exploit (CVE). Our Rust developers will work closely with your current team to develop production-ready systems built to withstand any number of loads.

Infrastructure Required to Build Blockchains and Smart Contracts

Build the components needed for a Layer 1 blockchain: nodes, consensus, and smart contracts. Memory errors will cause bugs that can lead to millions of dollars in attacks. We build proof-of-stake validators that allow for processing the propagation of proposals to build new blocks, managing transaction mempools with priority queues for managing transactions, and synchronizing states across the peer-to-peer network using libp2p's gossip protocol. Your blockchain is capable of processing 50,000+ transactions per second with deterministic state transitions and audit quality for every line of code in your blockchain.

Tech Stack:

Substrate framework Solana SDK libp2p networking serde serialization tokio async runtime

Outcome

Sub-second block finality, 99.99% validator uptime, zero consensus failures

High-Performance Trading Engines

We develop order-matching engines that can process more than 100,000 trades per second (TPS) with latency measured in microseconds. Our engineers optimize memory layouts for the L1 cache, implement lock-free ring buffers for order queues, and design event sourcing based systems that allow us to recreate market states from historical transaction data. Every microsecond is important. Therefore, we do extensive stress-testing of our systems against simulated flash-crash scenarios before entering production.

Systems Programming: C/C++ to Rust Migration

We help you migrate legacy C++ systems to Rust where segmentation faults lead to downtime in your production environment and memory corruption results in security vulnerabilities. We will rewrite kernel modules, device drivers, and embedded firmware thus eliminating classes of CVEs (Common Vulnerability and Exposures) as follows: use-after-free – gone; double-free – gone; buffer overflows – found at compile time; and you stop having to debug memory corruption in production.

Timeline

It typically takes 120-180 days to migrate 100K+ lines of C++ codebases into Rust.

Client-Side Performance of WebAssembly

By compiling Rust to WebAssembly, developers can create computations that are executed in the browser that run 10-20x faster than JavaScript. The developers at our company have built image processing pipelines, cryptographic operations, and real-time data validation that execute on the client side without needing to wait for any server round-trips. WASM modules can be integrated back into existing JavaScript code through the use of typed interfaces. Clients receive instant feedback on their actions instead of waiting for an API call.

Internet of Things and Edge Processing in Embedded Systems

Build industrial IoT firmware in Rust for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers with real-time performance guarantees. We have built edge devices that can process sensor telemetry (data from sensor systems) and meet 10ms round-trip response times locally. We limit the amount of cellular bandwidth required for each data packet by compressing the data and buffering data during network outages. Firmware must run in systems without operating systems but still be able to provide the functionality of an OS with constrained environments (no heap allocator, 64K of RAM).

Deployment

The use of these designs is on ARM Cortex-M4/M7 and RISC-V processors and has a memory range of 64K to 512K RAM.

Custom Database Engines & Storage Systems

Build specialized database engines, distributed key-value stores, and time-series databases optimized for your exact workload. We utilize B-tree indexes for range queries, write-ahead logging to ensure ACID-compliance, and multi-region replication with conflict resolution. Using cheap hardware, the storage system is capable of doing one million or more writes per second. You no longer pay for features in database products that you do not use.

Tech Stack:

Cryptographic Systems & Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Implement cryptographic primitives, zero-knowledge proof circuits, and secure multi-party computation where timing attacks leak private keys.Developers create zkSNARK proof systems, threshold signature schemes for decentralised custody, and homomorphic encryption (to perform computations on encrypted data). All cryptographic code is constructed using constant-time execution. The functionality of all of cryptographic code is verifiably correct through a third-party security audit.

Core Rust Language & Ownership Model

Memory safety without the overhead of garbage collection, through borrow checking at compile time. The compiler ensures that there are no data races, guarantees no dereferencing of null pointers, verifies that no iterators are invalidated prior to use, and makes sure any unsafe code has gone through a peer review process and is properly documented with invariant contract clauses. Some features of modern rust are; async/await for non-blocking I/O, const generics for zero-cost abstractions, and trait bounds for polymorphism without the overhead of using vtable.

Async Runtime And Concurrency

The Tokio runtime allows for high-performance asynchronous programming in network service applications with support for over 50,000 concurrent connections. Developers utilize work-stealing schedulers to distribute workloads across multiple threads of execution. They will also make use of lock-free data structures, Arc, and atomic operations to develop their systems with predictable latency during load spikes. The async-std runtime can be used as an alternative to the Tokio runtime for certain types of workloads. Additionally, Rayon offers developers a data-parallel way of processing CPU-bound workloads.

Web Frameworks And API Development

Production-ready APIs are built using Axum for type-safe routing, Actix-web for maximum throughput, and Rocket for rapid prototyping. Developers create API documentation using OpenAPI/Swagger. They validate incoming requests using serde. Users can authenticate requests using JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). Developers can implement rate limiting using middleware, and developers building services that utilize gRPC can use Tonic in conjunction with Protocol Buffers (protobufs) to implement cross-language Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs). APIs built using these frameworks can handle over 100,000 requests per second on a four-core virtual machine with less than a 10 millisecond p99 latency.

Blockchain and Distributed Systems

Blockchain Infrastructure built using Substrate Framework to create customized Layer 1 protocols, or use the Solana SDK for high-throughput DeFi apps. Developers can build consensus algorithms such as PBFT and HotStuff and use libp2p for Peer-to-Peer networking. Developers can create cryptographic proofs using Merkle trees. Deploy smart contracts to the Solana runtime or compile to WASM for Polkadot parachains. Systems can process 50,000+ TPS with finality under one second.

Embedded Systems and Systems Programmers

Bare metal Rust for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, RISC-V processors and x86 bootloaders. The amount of available memory is measured in kilobytes instead of gigabytes. The developers have no way to use heap-based allocation, and therefore must implement device drivers via memory-mapped I/O. Developments will design interrupt handlers based on RTIC real-time framework. The firmware will be deployed to Industrial IoT devices, which are expected to operate for ten years without any downtime. There is no room for memory leaks.

Database and Storage Technologies

RocksDB is utilized to optimize database functionality by using LSM-tree for on-disk storage. Sled provides an embedded database environment that is completely written in Rust. Apache Arrow is being used to provide in-memory analytics (using a columnar format). For durability, write-ahead logs have been applied by developers using MVCC to maintain isolation across transactions. Query performance has improved through a query optimization engine based on DataFusion.

Testing and Reliability Engineering

Unit tests are conducted with cargo test. Proptest performs property-based testing by generating thousands of random inputs. Criterion performs regression testing to find performance degradation. For end-to-end testing, developers will write integration tests that interact with an actual database implementation. Implementing chaos engineering, developers will inject failure to see how systems will recover. Developers will use valgrind to find memory leaks in production systems that have achieved greater than 90% code coverage from automated continuous integration (CI) pipelines.

Platform Trajectory

Rust Platform Evolution: Why It Matters for Your Project

Rust has given us a new programming language; but it has also changed the way we develop fast, safe and reliable systems. Knowing how Rust is positioned in the systems programming world will allow you to make better architectural decisions for your projects.

2010-2015

The Formative Years

System Programming Reimagined

Rust 1.0 arrived in 2015 after years of refinement. The initial focus was on solving memory safety without garbage collection—offering C++-level control with guaranteed safety. Early adopters were system programmers seeking alternatives to C/C++ for performance-critical components.

2015-2018

Ecosystem Establishment

Building the Foundation

Post-1.0 releases focused on developer experience and crate ecosystem growth. Key additions included: Gradual introduction of ergonomic features without breaking promises Major companies (Dropbox, npm, Cloudflare) deploying Rust in production

2018-2021

The Async Revolution

Concurrency Transformed

Rust 2018 Edition introduced async/await, transforming Rust's approach to concurrent programming: Zero-cost abstractions for async I/O

2021-2024

Mainstream Adoption

Enterprise-Ready Language

Rust 2021 Edition and subsequent releases solidified enterprise readiness: Microsoft: "67% of CVEs would be eliminated by using Rust" Google: Rust for Android and Linux kernel components AWS: Rust as "most productive" language for infrastructure Linux: Official kernel support (6.1+) WASM: First-class WebAssembly support Major financial institutions adopting for high-frequency trading

2024+

The Versatile Vanguard

Current & Future Trajectory

Select Rust 1.75+, which represents an architectural change where productivity and safety merge without compromise, for new projects where performance, safety, and long-term maintainability are critical.

Technology Fit Assessment

When Rust Is the Right Choice (And When It Isn't)

Rust is not the best language for every project, but there are instances when it’s a better fit than other alternatives such as Go, C++, or Python.

Choose Rust When:

  • If one buffer overflow or any use-after-free error could open a CVE, trigger a security incident or result in financial losses, then you need to use Rust. Crypto and trading systems that process multi-million dollar transactions per second qualify under this requirement. Also, firmware on embedded devices deployed across a network of 50,000+ without an update methodology would also qualify. Lastly, systems have been developed to provide multiple ways of leaking private keys via timing attacks. Rust allows developers to catch these errors during compilation using its borrow checker.

  • "If you require sub-millisecond p99 latencies, processing 100,000+ requests per second, or if you need a tight memory layout control—then you should definitely choose Rust. For example, High frequency trading systems would fall into this category, as microseconds in transaction timing can have a significant effect on profitability. API Gateways that handle more than 50,000 concurrent connections would also qualify under this requirement. For many real-time systems where deadlines cannot exceed 10ms; will also meet this requirement. Database engines optimized for specific workloads would qualify under this performance requirement. Rust provides the same performance level as C but does so with safety assurances."

  • Choose Rust if the code you create will require little maintenance over a period of five to ten years. Examples of such applications would be a storage system (databases, file systems, object stores), protocol implementation (HTTP/3, QUIC, gRPC), embedded firmware for an industrial IoT device with a 10-year life span, or a fundamental infrastructure service (DNS, load balancer, proxy). In five years, the code developed today will still compile because of Rust's stability guarantees and lack of framework churn.

  • Rust is the best choice for systems that rely on parallel processing with the absence of data races. Examples of these systems would include: web servers supporting thousands of simultaneous connections, distributed systems requiring complex synchronization, data processing pipelines using parallel processing, and event-driven systems using message passing. The Rust compiler will prevent data races from being introduced into production due to compile-time verification. A race condition cannot leave the developer's control.

Do Not Choose Rust When:

  • Learning Rust is not going to be easy for you, as the borrow checker can be difficult to deal with early on. If speed to market is more important than accuracy, you should choose either Python, Javascript, or Go instead of Rust and make changes to what you wrote in Rust later when you have established your product has fit with your target customer.

    • If your development team does not have experience in systems programming, accessing Rust at production will be very difficult. Having experience with languages like Javascript, Python, or Ruby or no experience with C/C++ will require you to develop different frameworks to help your team understand how to use Rust. Forcing your developers to use Rust may increase the likelihood that they will create bugs due to their inability to grasp how Rust was designed to work.

      • If you are building a typical web application with forms and data storage, you would be better off developing that in Ruby on Rails, Django, or Next.js rather than Rust. The complexity of using Rust for a typical website as a development language would not produce any additional value at this point. You would only want to consider using Rust for parts of your website that had significant performance or security needs.

        • If you need mature libraries for your machine learning project (use Python), mobile development project (use Swift/Kotlin), or enterprise integration project (use Java), Rust's Ecosystem is still maturing. While Rust has very good libraries for systems programming/networking/cryptography, libraries for other areas are less mature. Choose an ecosystem that fits best with your specific problem.

Ask yourself: Do I need Memory Safety, Raw Performance or Longevity (Long Term Stability)? If YES to any of these then consider Rust – if NO to all of these then consider an alternative(s). The right decision is based on your unique constraints; and we have helped you make this decision by tracking 2,000+ projects in all programming languages.

Why Forward-Thinking CTO's Choose HireDeveloper

Our Rust developers average 5+ years of production experience, with deep expertise in systems programming, async runtimes, and WebAssembly. Every developer is vetted for systems design and performance optimization, not just syntax proficiency.

We don’t employ individuals who are inexperienced or recent graduates of a programming bootcamp or course. We hire System Programmers that possess extensive experience deploying Rust into production environments where the correct management of memory is key to the success of their application. Each candidate will complete a take-home coding assessment around debugging concurrency issues with a focus on identifying data races and managing concurrent access to resources rather than simply solving a FizzBuzz problem. Our acceptance rate for applicants is 1% or less.

Because of our developers' ability to identify potential performance bottlenecks prior to developing code, they are also able to ship projects 40% faster than traditional teams. They create flame graphs to profile application performance. They employ SIMD instruction sets to optimize their most frequent execution paths. They measure the amount of time it takes to process a request using statistical distributions (i.e., p50/p99/p999). There are no assumptions made when optimizing application performance, as every optimization is benchmarked.

We have dedicated team members with expertise in building solutions on the Substrate/Polkadot, Solana and WASM platforms. They possess deep knowledge of common consensus mechanisms, cryptographic primitives, and zero-knowledge proof mechanisms, and they have deployed Smart Contracts that are used to secure real assets (not tutorial tokens). They are true veterans of the Blockchain industry and have years of real-world experience developing these technologies.

Systems that are developed as a team that communicates their architectural decisions clearly are normally the most successful. Therefore, we will work directly with your technical leads to make sure that API contracts are correct, that your concurrency models align with their systems and that error-handling follows their operational playbook so that no surprises are encountered in production.

We follow SOC 2 Type II standards when we develop software. We use best practices to create secure software, and we verify it through code signing. We perform audits of our dependencies with cargo-audit, and we use only safe, constant-time cryptography to prevent side-channel attacks; we always ensure that every unsafe block of code is peer-reviewed (with documented invariants) before we use it. Security is not optional when we deploy systems code.

The project is continuously being developed, supported and maintained throughout the lifecycle of the project. As a result, we have staff strategically located in different time zones to provide 24/7 (throughout the world) support for your project. As such, staff working on your project will work in the same time zone as your project via a four-hour overlap (daily) with US Eastern time.

You will have control over the engagement model you want to use. Fixed fee for project-based/defined scope (total cost); hourly for project-based/exploratory projects; monthly retainer for embedded members of the project team. We do not lock you into contracts/commitments beyond the current engagement and you own the terms of the relationship.

If project requirements change, or a poor technical fit occurs within the first two weeks of project commencement, we will replace your developer at no cost to you. No negotiation required. No hassle involved. We are absorbing the risk related to your developer replacement, so you can make a decision on whether or not to hire this resource without the fear of being "stuck" with a poor fit.

Have More Questions?

What's the difference between hiring dedicated Rust developers vs freelancers?

Dedicated developers provide 90%+ availability with full-time focus, while freelancers average 60% utilization. You save 25% on hidden management costs and get 2-week replacement guarantees versus unpredictable freelancer turnover.

Why choose Rust over C++ or Go for systems programming?

Rust provides memory safety without garbage collection, eliminating 70% of security vulnerabilities found in C++. For fintech, Rust’s zero-cost abstractions deliver 40% better performance than Go with superior concurrency handling.

How quickly can I hire pre-vetted Rust developers?

We deliver matched Rust developer profiles within 3 days, with first production code shipping in 12 days. 95% of clients complete interviews and onboarding within 5 business days for urgent blockchain or fintech projects.

How much does it cost to hire a Rust developer?

Senior Rust developers cost $6,500/month, while architects run $8,500-$12,000/month. This includes full benefits, equipment, and replacement insurance—30% cheaper than dedicated freelancers when you factor in hidden management costs and onboarding time.

Can Rust developers integrate with our existing C++ codebase?

Yes, we use Foreign Function Interface (FFI) with bindgen for seamless C++ integration. We migrate 100K+ line codebases in 120-180 days using the Strangler Fig pattern with zero production downtime.

Do your Rust developers specialize in blockchain development?

78% of our Rust developers have blockchain experience with Substrate/Polkadot, Solana DeFi, and WASM smart contracts. They’ve deployed mainnet contracts securing real value, not just tutorial projects.

How experienced are your Rust developers typically?

Our average Rust developer has 5.2+ years in systems programming with 2+ full production SDLCs. We don’t hire bootcamp graduates—only experienced developers who’ve shipped real Rust applications.

What industries benefit most from Rust development?

Rust excels in fintech (high-frequency trading), blockchain infrastructure, embedded systems, and WebAssembly applications. Each domain requires specific expertise we match to your project requirements.

Can Rust handle WebAssembly development for web applications?

Absolutely. Rust compiles to highly efficient WebAssembly, running 3-5x faster than JavaScript. Our developers create performant web apps, browser extensions, and serverless functions using wasm-bindgen.

Do your developers use unsafe Rust code blocks?

Only when necessary for performance or FFI, and always with peer review. We audit unsafe blocks with MIRI to prevent undefined behavior—inexperienced developers never write unsafe code.

What's your developer replacement policy?

2-week no-cost replacement if project fit changes. After that, replacements are case-by-case. Our 3% replacement rate is low due to careful initial matching for Rust-specific requirements.

Can developers work in our specific timezone?

Yes, we guarantee 4+ hours overlap with your timezone. For US business hours (9-5 ET), there’s a 15-20% premium—still 40% cheaper than local Rust developers.

Who owns the intellectual property for code written?

You own 100% of the code before developers access repositories. SOC 2 Type II compliance ensures security with $3M insurance coverage and zero incidents in 3+ years.

How do you ensure code quality in Rust projects?

We enforce strict linting (Clippy), comprehensive testing (85%+ coverage), and automated security scanning. Memory safety violations are caught during CI/CD before reaching production.

Can you quickly scale our Rust development team?

Yes, we maintain a bench of pre-vetted Rust developers. We’ve scaled teams from 2 to 8 developers in one week for mainnet launches without quality compromise.

Rust vs Go for backend services - which is better?

Choose Rust for performance-critical systems needing memory safety (fintech, trading). Choose Go for rapid development of networked services where developer velocity matters more than absolute performance.

Rust vs C++ for new systems programming projects?

Rust eliminates 70% of memory-related bugs found in C++ while matching performance. For greenfield projects, Rust’s safety guarantees reduce long-term maintenance costs by 40-60%.

Rust WebAssembly vs JavaScript for web apps?

Rust WASM runs 3-5x faster than JavaScript with smaller bundle sizes. Use it for compute-intensive browser tasks like data visualization, gaming, or real-time financial modeling.

Dedicated Rust developers vs rotating freelancers?

Dedicated developers provide continuity, deep system knowledge, and 90%+ availability. Freelancers average 3-month engagements with knowledge loss between projects and inconsistent availability.

What guarantees come with dedicated Rust developers?

2-week no-cost replacement, 4+ hour timezone overlap, 85%+ code coverage, and IP ownership from day one—guarantees freelancers and agencies rarely provide.
