Using Rust in Metal Fabrication
summary
A enterprise system for metal fabrication uses a backend in Rust enforcing domain model with a TypeScript Node.js BFF, and the compiler catches missing cases so enum-driven changes fail at compile time. Phantom types prevent currency- and unit-mixing bugs and save debugging time. Production stack includes rabbitmq redis postgresql grpc and tower-grpc; started on Rust 1.35 and still avoids async/await, opting to horizontally scale. Hiring focuses on strong type system, generics and low-level understanding, and the approach proves workable.
