Rust High Performance

Open-source Rust projects categorized as High Performance

Top 23 Rust High Performance Projects

High Performance
  1. tauri

    Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop and mobile applications with a web frontend.

    Project mention: Tauri's updater downloads your whole app every time. Making it download only the diff took more than bsdiff | dev.to | 2026-09-27

    tauri-plugin-updater-delta is that equivalent: it sends only what changed between two releases. Delta updates for Tauri have been an open feature request since December 2024, and the suggested fix there was "run bsdiff on the binaries".

  2. AppSignal

    AppSignal knows why the f*#k it crashed. Stop vibe-debugging. Every exception, every backtrace, grouped so you see patterns, not noise.

  3. hyperswitch

    Open source, composable payments platform | PCI compliant | SaaS and Self-host options | Enables connectivity to multiple payment, payout, fraud, vault and tokenization providers | Uplifts authorization with intelligent routing and revenue recovery | Reduce payment processing costs with cost observability | Reduces payment ops with reconciliation

    Project mention: What Is Pix | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-09-09
  4. vector

    A high-performance observability data pipeline.

    Project mention: We Cut Log Costs by 35% Using Vector 0.30 and Loki 3.0: Lessons from a 3-Month Tuning | dev.to | 2026-05-04

    We evaluated three alternatives: ClickHouse for log storage, Fluent Bit for log collection, and the Vector (https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector) + Loki (https://github.com/grafana/loki) stack. ClickHouse had great query performance but required manual index management, which would add operational overhead. Fluent Bit was lightweight but lacked the transform capabilities we needed to mask PII and drop low-value logs. Vector and Loki stood out: Vector is a Rust-based agent with 1/10th the memory footprint of Filebeat, and Loki is designed for cost-efficient log storage with a query model that aligns with how our team actually debugs (using labels, not full-text search).

  5. sled

    the champagne of beta embedded databases

    Project mention: Sled – An Embedded Database in Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-28
  6. hora

    🚀 efficient approximate nearest neighbor search algorithm collections library written in Rust 🦀 .

  7. openlake

    OpenLake is a high performance storage engine for efficient LLM inference and GPU Training

    Project mention: Show HN: ExANS – Lossless KV cache compression at 622 GB/s on H100 | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-08-05

    - 622 GB/s median GPU decode

    Decompression is ~10× faster than a 400 Gb/s NIC bandwidth delivering data losslessly without quality change.

    We've are open sourcing this as: ExANS which will be available through our vLLM and SGLang connectors on OpenLake v0.8 version. No changes are required in the inference engine.

    I'm curious how others are handling KV transfer today. Are you using KV compression or is bandwidth not a bottleneck yet?

    Thanks!

  23. slas

    Static Linear Algebra System

  24. blockframe-rs

    Self-healing erasure-coded storage engine with transparent filesystem mounting. Reed-Solomon fault tolerance in a single binary

    Project mention: Show HN: Blockframe v1.0.3 Released | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-01-25

    Removed mmap conditions and thresholds to enable default mmap for file read in tier 2 commits. Previously mmap would be selected if a file was greater than 10mb, use_mmap would be checked within the segment loop constantly, even though use_mmap was a constant. Presence of conditional mmap meant doing variable sized buffer fills which would eventually lead to short reads and corruption of segments due to filling EOF segment with dummy data as the buffer would be statically sized for reusability.

    Added padding to generate_parity_segmented. The Reed-Solomon erasure coding is ran on SIMD instructions, meaning the data which is being processed on the specific lanes must be 64 bytes. Prior if 65 bytes were passed, the 1 left over bit wouldn't be filled into the SIMD vector which created undefined behaviour. Added next multiple of 64 padding for exception chunks.

    Changed commit boundaries for tier 1 from 10mb to 25mb. Changed sha256 function name to blake3_hash_bytes.

    Feel free to check it out, clone or download the release for the platform of your choice. And if you appreciated what I built, please consider giving it a star and sharing, that would mean a lot. Thank you, have a cracking day :)
