Infrastructure Support at the Rust Foundation

 

One of the key pillars of the Rust Foundation’s mission is to provide robust infrastructure support to the Rust Project and community, particularly as the popularity and use of Rust continues to rise. In doing so, we help ensure that the infrastructure of Rust and related projects is reliable, efficient, productive, and secure.

Rust is one of the fastest-growing programming languages available today.

 

This growth is associated with infrastructure challenges and consequences that the Rust Foundation helps address through infrastructure support initiatives. 

Our mission-critical Rust infrastructure work is made possible by our team’s infrastructure engineers, their collaborators within the Rust Project, and generous infrastructure donations from the organizations listed below.
