Gazette: Cloud-native millisecond-latency streaming
I feel a bit paralyzed by Fear Of Missing Io_Uring. There's so much awesome streaming stuff about (RisingWave, Materialize, NATS, DataFusion, Velox, many more), but it all feels built on slower legacy system libraries.
It's not heavily used yet, but Rust has a bunch of fairly high visibility efforts. Situation sort of feels similar with http3, where the problem is figuring out what to pick. https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio-uring https://github.com/bytedance/monoio https://github.com/DataDog/glommio

I want to share my latest hobby project, dbeel: A distributed thread-per-core nosql db written in rust
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.

Learning Async Rust with Too Many Web Servers
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
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.

Why does Actix-web's handler not require Send?
I assume Tokio itself, see e.g monoio or glommio, but also Seastar for C++.

Use io_uring for network I/O
> Few of us have really figured out io_uring. But that doesn't mean it is slower.
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).
Additionally the rust equivalent: https://github.com/DataDog/glommio

Is async runtime (Tokio) overhead significant for a "real-time" video stream server?
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.
