ScyllaDB Async Rust Driver VS Catalytic

I want to replicate this line in `Command` (from https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-rust-driver/pull/489/files):

Client-side driver for ScyllaDB written in pure Rust with a fully async API using Tokio. Takes advantage of ScyllaDB's shard-per-core architecture for low-latency distributed apps.

Our Rust driver started as a humble hackathon project, but it has eventually grown to become our fastest and safest Cassandra Query Language (CQL) driver. We happily observed in our benchmarks that our ScyllaDB Rust Driver beats even the reference C++ driver in terms of raw performance, and that gave us an idea — why not unify all drivers to use Rust underneath?

A few weeks ago, an interesting issue appeared on our GitHub tracker. It was reported that, despite our care in designing the driver to be efficient, it proved to be unpleasantly slower than one of the competing drivers, cassandra-cpp, which is a Rust wrapper of a C++ CQL driver. The author of latte, a latency tester for Cassandra (and Scylla), pointed out that switching the back-end from cassandra-cpp to scylla-rust-driver resulted in an unacceptable performance regression. Time to investigate!

After years of working, I finally completed Beezle Social, discover local events!

Beezle Social is an app that is ready to be downloaded on the App Store and possibly soon on the Play store as well! With Beezle, you can explore events happening nearby. Check out the website at https://beezleapp.com/. The app can be downloaded at: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/beezle-social/id1661982809. I completed this on my own.

Rust is used at the backend. I did choose Rust because of its safety and speed. I took me awhile to get used to the type-system, but after that, I was amazed by the functionality and ecosystem. It is a joy working with macro's, cargo and code quality of other libraries.

Swift is used at the frontend. Obviously I preferred Swift over Obj-c. I used SwiftUI + UIKit to make the UI. The whole chatting part is done with UIKit because SwiftUI does not support advanced text editing options. I used some hacks in the chatting part to make sure SwiftUI doesn't reload everything all the time when a new message comes in.

AWS is used at the deploying side. I used ECS and Docker to deploy the server and a lot of other services for media, CDN and mailing system.

Beezle used libraries I created: https://github.com/Jasperav/Catalytic and https://github.com/Jasperav/GRDB-ORM. Catalytic is an ORM for the scylla-rust-driver and GRDB-ORM an ORM for GRDB.

I am happy to answer any question! Please download the app, leave a review and ping me if you missing features.
