  • rust-script

    Run Rust files and expressions as scripts without any setup or compilation step.

  • Use rust-script ! Instead of having a folder for each script, your script could be a single file, just like you would in python. Then you can put all the files in a single directory with a readme describing the functionality and use-case of each script.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
