Adaptive load balancer developed in rust.

Folks, I’ve been working on a personal project and I’m excited to finally share it with you. I built a minimal adaptive load balancer in Rust, focused on core functionality and performance. It includes the essential features required for real-world load balancing, and the entire journey has been a great learning experience.

Exploring Rust through this project helped me understand systems programming, concurrency, and performance optimization at a much deeper level. I really enjoyed the process of designing and implementing it from scratch.

I’d love to get your feedback, code reviews, and suggestions for improvement. Feel free to explore the repository and share your thoughts.

Looking forward to learning from the community!

Planning a Transition to Rust After 6+ Years with C#

I've spent 6–7 years working with C#, but over time it has started to feel bloated and restrictive. I miss having precise, low-level control over how things actually work.

I've begun exploring Rust, and it already feels refreshing. It's still early, but I can see myself gradually transitioning to it over the coming years.

Recently, I had to work on streaming in C# for an enterprise application with minimal real constraints; and honestly, the experience was frustrating. The abstractions get in the way more than they help.
