In the previous post we described the Firewall Rules architecture and how the different components are integrated together. We created a configurable Rust library for writing and executing Wireshark®-like filters in different parts of our stack written in Go, Lua, C, C++ and JavaScript Workers.
Facebook is embracing Rust, one of the most loved and fastest-growing programming languages available today. In addition to bringing new talent to its Rust team, Facebook has announced that it is o…
WhatsApp has adopted and rolled out a new layer of security for users – built with Rust – as part of its effort to harden defenses against malware threats. WhatsApp’s experience creating and distri…
In this blog post, we are proud to introduce Oxy - our modern proxy framework, developed using the Rust programming language
In this post, I want to give a nuanced perspective on our experience porting YJIT from C to Rust. I'll talk about the positives, but also discuss the things that we found challenging or suboptimal in our experience.
Introducing the Cloudflare Workers Rust SDK: write your entire Worker in Rust, no JavaScript required.
Today we are happy to release the source code of a project we’ve been working on for the past few months. It is called BoringTun, and is a userspace implementation of the WireGuard® protocol written in Rust.
Shopify is adopting Rust as our systems programming language, and joining the Rust Foundation.
With the new experimental support for the Emscripten target in Rust Workers, many previously unsupported Rust libraries and applications can now be built and deployed directly to Cloudflare’s global Workers platform, including upcoming support for Tokio async.
Shopify loves Ruby and opportunities to get together with other engineers who love Ruby to learn, share, and build relationships. In November, Rubyists from Shopify’s Ruby and Rails infrastructure teams gathered in Denver at RubyConf 2021 to immerse themselves in all things Ruby with a community of their peers. If you weren’t there or want to revisit the content, we’ve compiled a list of the talks from our engineers. A History of Compiling Ruby by Chris Seaton Love Ruby compilers? Chris does. “Why is it worth looking at Ruby compilers? Why is it worth looking at compilers at all? Well, I think compilers are fascinating. I’ve been working on them for a couple of decades. I think one of the great things about compilers, you can talk to anyone who’s a developer about compilers, because we all use compilers. Everyone’s got an opinion on how the languages should be designed. You can have conversations with anyone at every level about compilers, and compilers are just really fun. They may seem like a deeply technical topic, but they’re conceptually fairly simple. They take a file as input, they do something internally, and they produce a file as output.” In this talk, Chris dives into the history of Ruby compilers, the similarities and differences, and what we can learn from them. Learn more about Chris’ work on TruffleRuby: https://shopify.engineering/understanding-programs-using-graphs Some Assembly Required by Aaron Patterson In typical Aaron style, this talk is filled with puns and humor while being educational and thought-provoking. Aaron shares why he wrote a JIT compiler for Ruby. Why did he write a JIT compiler? To see if he could. “I wanted to see if I could build this thing. For me, programming is a really creative and fun endeavor. I love to program. And many times I’ll just write a project just to see if I can do it. And this is one of those cases. So, I think maybe people are asking, ‘does this
