πŸ¦€ Rust Weekly Log β€” CRC, Entropy, and Hexagonal Architecture

This week focused on reliability, cryptographic foundations, and clean architecture boundaries.

πŸ“‘ RustPulse β€” CRC Validation on Telemetry Ingestion

Implemented Step 1 of CRC protection: X-CRC32 validation at ingestion level. Detect corrupted payloads early, return clear 400 + crc_check=fail responses, prevent invalid data from reaching downstream services, protect overall telemetry data quality, fail fast at the edge. Always.

πŸ” Sealed in Rust β€” Randomness & Entropy

New chapter published:Randomness & Entropy: Nonces, IVs, CSPRNGs
Key idea: In cryptography, algorithms don’t fail first β€” randomness does, without real entropy, security is only theoretical.

▢️ Fearless in Rust β€” Hexagonal Architecture (Final Part)

Part 3 of the Hexagonal Architecture series is live.

Focus: clean input/output adapters, proper composition root wiring, keeping frameworks out of the core

Watch here: https://youtu.be/JoBK9i_aMOM

Building distributed systems in Rust means:

  • Defensive validation at the edge
  • Correct cryptographic primitives
  • Clear architectural boundaries

That’s the direction.
