I'm a software engineer who keeps getting pulled into DevOps no matter how hard I try to escape it. I recently moved into a Lead DevOps Engineer role writing tooling to automate a lot of the pain away. On my own time outside of work, I built Artifact Keeper — a self-hosted artifact registry that supports 45+ package formats. Security scanning, SSO, replication, WASM plugins — it's all in the MIT-licensed release. No enterprise tier. No feature gates. No surprise invoices. Your package managers — pip, npm, docker, cargo, helm, go, all of them — talk directly to it using their native…

This project is inspired by some of the asserts in Unreal engine. Due to reliance on core_intrinsics it is necessary to develop using nightly Rust, but there are stubs in place so a production build will not require nightly. I recently released version 0.2 which includes no_std support and adds optional log message arguments to the ensure macro.

"Game" is a stretch, but I put together this repo containing a pure Rust app which uses SDL2 and compiles to WASM (and can be run in a browser). Older resources were a bit out of date and a bit too verbose for my purposes, so here's a minimal working example.

Hi HN, I'm new to Rust and, after half of `The Rust Programming Language` I decided to delve into a project I would actually use: a markdown to html compiler that actually serves my micro-blog (I started just right after publishing the project hehe). The project is intentionally small and one-file contained: I wanted to have the full picture in mind. I'm open to comments, suggestions and PRs. If you asked me more convincing arguments to "why did you do it?" rather than "to learn Rust" I would respond with: LLMs are effectively a new type of web users today and will be more and more present…

Balter (Build A Load TestER) is a distributed load/stress testing framework for Rust. It leverages the tokio ecosystem to make it simple to write normal Rust code which auto-scales to meet TPS requirements or to scale indefinitely until a certain error rate. Using Balter is straightforward, and load testing code looks like the following (note that its just normal Rust code, no DSL to learn). use balter::prelude::*; use std::time::Duration; #[tokio::main] async fn main() { my_scenario() .tps(500) .duration(Duration::from_secs(30)) .await; my_scenario() .saturate()…

After two weeks of planning and figuring out how to manage conversions safely, I have finally published the first version of my crate :) It allows you to specify your own colortypes and easily use the same syntax for converting between your custom color types! I also started working on a custom image type that can do math :)

Hi HN! This Christmas I made `tysm`, a rust crates which simplifies using ChatGPT with Structured Outputs. Essentially you just tell it the rust type you want the output to conform to, and it handles creating the JSON Schema, passing it to ChatGPT's chat-completions API, and deserializing the response. Structured Outputs are very useful because they guarantee that the response will conform to whatever type you expect. I'm already finding my crate very useful since I love using Structured Outputs but I hate writing JSON Schemas myself. Technical details for rust heads: To generate the JSON…
