  • log

    Logging implementation for Rust (by rust-lang)

    Yes - you use a third party crate. This is one of Rust's design decisions - to push things to external crates. It has done so with other things - the most known are logging, regular expressions, and random number generation. The idea is that instead of a huge standard library that includes everything, you have a great dependency manager that lets easily add these functionalities that were moved outside (or use their alternatives, if you find that one of the alternatives better suits your needs)

  • 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.

  • rand

    A Rust library for random number generation.

  • regex

    An implementation of regular expressions for Rust. This implementation uses finite automata and guarantees linear time matching on all inputs.
