AI made my Drupal a little Rusty!
Video Description
Speaker: Mayank Gupta
CPU-intensive processes can often lead to service interruptions, with PDF generation and site search being two common examples.
Using AI-assisted development, I built two Drupal modules that harness the power of Rust binaries to solve these challenges with exceptional performance.
In this session, you'll discover how Rust—the systems programming language now used by Linus Torvalds and the Linux kernel community—transformed a 200-page PDF generation process that previously took 1.5–2 minutes for a $4 billion enterprise into one that completes in just a few seconds.
You'll also see how another Rust-powered binary enables lightning-fast site search without relying on Solr or database queries. Instead, the entire search experience runs on the client side, delivering fast, responsive results with a dramatically simpler architecture.
