Jon Gjengset discusses using Rust to build Noria, a high-performance research database, focusing on concurrent data structures and unsafe code.
This is a guest lecture I gave at Two Sigma in November 2018 where I discussed the experience of using Rust for building larger, high-performance systems. In it, I cover what makes Rust an attractive option for such projects; Noria, the high-performance research database prototype I've built using Rust; an interesting concurrent data-structure we use in Noria; and how I've found Rust to work in that context. The presentation slides are available at jon.thesquareplanet.com/slides/rust-twosigma/ . You can read more about Noria at pdos.csail.mit.edu/noria .Why it's here

The author of Noria, Jon Gjengset, gave a great talk about the system: link to this video The speeds achieved are impressive but you do not get consistency.

On “Rust at speed – building a fast concurrent database [video]”
He explains this at roughly the 40 minute mark. 1 "There's 7 more lines of `unsafe` that avoids keeping both maps. You still keep two maps, but you de-duplicate the data between those two maps." link to this video

…challenges and solutions involved. It also has a chapter (Appendix A) that covers how it all works by analogy, which the less-technical among the audience may appreciate :) A recording of my thesis defense on this, which may be more digestible than the thesis itself, is also online at link , as well as a shorter talk from a few years earlier at link to this video . And the Noria research prototype (written in Rust) is on GitHub: link . As others have already mentioned in the comments, I co-founded ReadySet ( link ) shortly after graduating specifically to build off of Noria, and they're doing amazing work to provide these kinds of speed-ups for general-purpose relational databases.
