    I used glommio as the async executor (instead of something like tokio), and it is wonderful. For people wondering whether it's "good enough" or to use C++ and seastar (as I have thought about a lot before starting this project), take the leap of faith, it's fast - both in terms of run time and to code.
  • The State of Async Rust

    My understanding is you always need a runtime, somethings needs to drive the async flow. But there are others on the market, just not without the.. market domination... of tokio.

    https://github.com/smol-rs/smol looks promising simply for being minimal

    https://github.com/bytedance/monoio looks potentially easier to work with than tokio

    https://github.com/DataDog/glommio is built around linux io_uring and seems somewhat promising for performance reasons.

    I haven't played with any of these yet, because Tokio is unfortunately the path of least resistance. And a bit viral in how it's infected tings.

    I think you missed one which is based on io_uring [1].

    In my benchmarks with a slightly tweaked version it was 2x faster than Nginx and and 30x faster than Python's SimpleHttpServer.

  • How much reason is there to be multi-threaded in the k8s environment
    2 projects | /r/scala | 4 Jul 2023
    b) It's proven now e.g Seastar, Glommio that the fastest way to run a multi-threaded application is to have one instance with one thread pinned per CPU core. Then to have fibers/lightweight threads on top handling all of the asynchronous code. Your approach of lots of instances is the slowest so there will be a ton of unnecessary thread context-switching.

    I assume Tokio itself, see e.g monoio or glommio, but also Seastar for C++.

    seastar.io is a high level framework that I believe has "figured out" io_uring, with additional caveats the framework imposes (which is honestly freeing).

    This use case is perfect for https://github.com/DataDog/glommio which is a thread-per-core runtime that is appropriate for latency sensitive code.

    It's worth mentioning: Under "Async Executors", for "io_uring" there is only "Glommio"

    I recently found out that ByteDance has a competitor library which supposedly has better performance:

    FYI, Datadog has a Rust library for scheduling things to run thread-per-core with io_uring

    It'd be really useful for DB use cases:
