A project I’ve been working on over the last few months is implementing the new CouchDB javascript view server in Rust and then benchmarking how it compared to the official Cloudant View Server.
This is my third attempt at doing this, the first time I did it in C++ as part of the team at Cloudant. The majority of that work was done by Paul. The second attempt was to write it as an Erlang NIF as a way to improve my C++. Finally, this version, which is the one I’m most happy with, in Rust. This is broken into two sections, Part 1 is a deep dive into how View Servers work in CouchDB and Part 2 is all about the Rust implementation and the benchmark results.
