In my session, I will present the https://hotpath.rs crate and explain how it compares to other profiling tools available.

In my session, I will present the https://hotpath.rs crate and explain how it compares to other profiling tools available. I will also showcase AI-powered Rust debugging session using hotpath MCP interface. Talk will be practical, with live-coding examples, and describing nontrivial Rust performance optimizations.
This talk explores building a complete self-hosted LLM stack in Rust: Paddler, a distributed load balancer for serving LLMs at scale, and Poet, a static site generator that consumes those LLMs for AI-powered content features.
I contributed LTO-related changes to many open-source projects, and had a lot of interesting discussions with their maintainers about LTO. In this talk, I want to share with you my experience.
We’ll take a deep dive into Rust channels — from synchronous channels to asynchronous channels — to explore how message passing enables reliable concurrent programming.
This session we will delve into the sometimes murky world of procedural macros - showing some of the great tooling available for understanding the code generated, such as cargo expand, and the key building blocks we will need for writing our own.
