This publication is an accumulation of possibilities to use the Rust programming language with different solutions in Big Data scenarios.
Rust is a functional programming language that is gaining more space in the market every day because it is designed to be highly safe and performant and a viable alternative to other languages such as C, C++, Java, Google CarbonLang, and Go, and others…
A big data scenario usually involves working with the 5V:
- Volume of data: how to work with large volumes of data efficiently that do not generate an abnormal cost?
- Velocity: How to capture, transform, load, and understand this pile of data in situations where the business needs information in a short time or even in real-time?
- Variety: how do we work with data coming from different sources in different formats?
- Veracity: with different sources and data undergoing different transformations, how can we ensure that the information contained in the source data continues even if its format changes?
- Value: How to generate value from the data collected? Now that we know what Rust is and we understand the questions that Big
