Rust Melbourne Meetup

Two talks on the night.

Rust-Native Agentic Platform Engineering with Embedded MCP

Jeff Aven

Building Rust-native agents for platform engineering and observability. The MCP server is embedded and vendored straight into the Rust application. Jeff demos auditron, a compliance copilot that treats cloud as data sources accessed via SQL. Ships as one self-contained binary. No runtime downloads.

Buck2: What Would it Take to Give Up Cargo?

Cormac Relf

For many, a big selling point of Rust is not dealing with build systems from 30 years ago. The people who were stuck with those tools have been hard at work. They've leapfrogged us. Cormac covers where Cargo falls down, what a better build system like Buck2 unlocks, and how to cut build and CI wait times while gaining a new toolbox for building great software.

Sponsored by Superteam Australia

Superteam Australia backs builders in the Solana ecosystem. It connects Australian developers, founders and operators to grants, bounties, hackathons and a global network of Superteams. If you're building in Rust, you're already halfway to building on Solana. Come say hi.
